The Pulpit Commentary - Obadiah 1:9

O Teman; Septuagint, οἱ ἐκ θαιμάν , "those from Thaeman;" Vulgate, a meridic , taking the word as an appellative; so the Chaldee. The southern district of Idumea was so called (see note on Amos 1:12 ). One of Job's friends, and the cleverest of them, was a Temanite ( Job 2:11 ). To the end that. This judicial blindness is inflicted in order that all may perish. By slaughter. Murder at the hands of the enemy. The LXX ; Vulgate, and Syriac connect these words with the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Obadiah 1:9

And thy mighty, O Teman, shall be dismayed - The pagan, more religiously than we, ascribed panic to the immediate action of one of their gods, or to Nature deified, Pan, i. e., the Universe: wrong as to the being whom they “ignorantly worshiped;” right, in ascribing it to what they thought a divine agency. Holy Scripture at times discovers the hidden agency, that we may acknowledge God’s Hand in those terrors which we cannot account for. So it relates, on occasion of Jonathan’s slaughter of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Obadiah 1:5-9

Obadiah 1:5-9. If thieves come unto thee See note on Jeremiah 49:9. How are his hidden things sought up! Those treasures and riches which he took all possible care to conceal, that they might not be discovered by the enemy. All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border Thy confederates marched out with thee, until thou wast come to the borders of thy country, and then they perfidiously joined with the enemy’s forces, and thereby deceived thee. And prevailed... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Obadiah 1:1-14

OBADIAH’S MESSAGEEdom’s sin (1-14)The Edomites thought their land was unconquerable because of the defence system that they had built throughout their rocky mountains. Obadiah warns them that no matter how high up the mountains they go or how strong they make their defences, nothing will save them from the coming destruction. Already the enemy armies are preparing to attack Edom (1-4).A house burglar steals only what he wants, and leaves the remainder of the goods in the house; a vineyard... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Obadiah 1:9

"And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter."In this verse, the summary end of the nation was indicated. God here prophetically announced the judgment and destruction of Edom, and this is as good a place as any to glance at the subsequent history of that nation which reveals the fulfilment of the prophecy.THE HISTORY OF EDOMThe fulfilment began in the Chaldean period, for Nebuchadnezzar unquestionably destroyed... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Obadiah 1:9

9. cut off by slaughter—MAURER translates, "on account of the slaughter," namely, that inflicted on Judea by Edom (compare :-). The Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate connect these words with Obadiah 1:10, "for the slaughter, for the violence (of which thou art guilty) against thy brother Jacob." English Version, "cut off by slaughter" (that is, an utter cutting off), answers well to "cut off for ever" (Obadiah 1:10- :). However, the arrangement of the Septuagint gives a better parallelism in... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Obadiah 1:9

The "mighty men" of Edom may be a synonym for the wise men (Obadiah 1:8) or the nation’s warriors. Together with the wise men, the mighty men form a merism, a figure of speech in which two parts stand for the whole, in this case all the Edomites. Rather than feeling confident, the mighty men, a chief resource of the nation, would feel dismayed when they realized that their covenant partners had proved traitorous.Teman was both a prominent town in central Edom (possibly modern Tuwilan) [Note:... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Obadiah 1:5-9

(5-9) The completeness of the overthrow awaiting Edom. It is no mere inroad of a marauding tribe. Something would escape the robber, though he might go away quite satisfied with his plunder; and even a raid in vintage time, for the purpose of doing all the mischief possible to the country, would leave here and there a scattered bunch, gleanings for the inhabitants when the spoilers had retired, but now everything is doomed to destruction. Edom is completely robbed and ransacked. Notice how the... read more
