About Obadiah (Obadiah 1:1)
Governor of Ahab’s house (1 Kings 18:3–16). Obadiah was an important official who managed King Ahab’s household. Elijah met him after a long drought and asked him to bring Ahab to him. Both Ahab and Obadiah were looking for water and grass (verse 5). Even though Obadiah worked for Ahab, he remained loyal to the Lord. He hid 100 prophets in caves and provided them with food and water.
A descendant of King David (1 Chronicles 3:21).
