Expositor's Bible Commentary - Obadiah 1:1-21

EDOM AND ISRAELObadiah 1:1-21IF the Book of Obadiah presents us with some of the most difficult questions of criticism, it raises besides one of the hardest ethical problems in all the vexed history of Israel.Israel’s fate has been to work out their calling in the world through antipathies rather than by sympathies, but of all the antipathies which the nation experienced none was more bitter and more constant than that towards Edom. The rest of Israel’s enemies rose and fell like waves:... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Obadiah 1:3-9

"The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? (4) Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. (5) If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:1-16

1-16 This prophecy is against Edom. Its destruction seems to have been typical, as their father Esau's rejection; and to refer to the destruction of the enemies of the gospel church. See the prediction of the success of that war; Edom shall be spoiled, and brought down. All the enemies of God's church shall be disappointed in the things they stay themselves on. God can easily lay those low who magnify and exalt themselves; and will do it. Carnal security ripens men for ruin, and makes the ruin... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:5-9

They Will Be Expelled From Edom By Those Who Will At First Appear To Be Their Friends (Obadiah 1:5-9 ). Their punishment will be extreme and final, and they will be ousted from their homeland by those who have eaten with them and pretended to be their friends. Obadiah 1:5-6 “If thieves came to you, If robbers by night, (How you are cut off!), Would they not steal only until they had enough? If grape-gatherers came to you, Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?” How are Esau searched! How... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:1-15

Obadiah 1:1-Ezra : b. The Deserved Downfall of Edom.— The prophet declares that interpretation of current events which Yahweh has revealed to him. Other nations are combining against Edom ( Obadiah 1:1) and Yahweh will make their combination successful ( Obadiah 1:2; the perfect tenses are “ prophetic” ). Edom has been confident in the inaccessibility of his mountainous land ( Obadiah 1:3; see Intro. and read with VSS “ making high his habitation” ), but vainly does he build (his nest) on... read more

Mighty men; valiant commanders and soldiers, who were never blemished with cowardice, who formerly durst adventure on greatest dangers and encounter most formidable enemies, and were never daunted with a slow-approaching enemy, how much soever over number to them, nor with any sudden surprising accidents; men of invincible courage, and most ready minds. Teman; a principal city and munition of Idumea. See Ezekiel 25:13; Habakkuk 3:3; Amos 1:12. Dismayed; astonished and surprised with such fear... read more
