Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Obadiah 1:10

"For the violence done to thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever."(See the comments under the preceding verse.) Here the reason for God's severe judgment is emphatically announced. It was not because of some single act of passion, but for an entire history of hatred and opposition to God's purpose.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Obadiah 1:11

"In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them."Here is a clear reference to a past event of Jerusalem's capture by foreigners, and at which time the Edomites stood with the invaders. Our interpretation identifies that occasion with the sack of Jerusalem by the Philistines and the Arabians. (See 2 Chronicles 21:17; Joel 3:3; and Nahum 3:10.)... read more

Obadiah 1:12-14. But thou shouldest not have looked on— Houbigant reads the verbs in these verses in the imperative mood. Look not—rejoice not, &c. Instead of, Nor have laid hands on, &c. Obadiah 1:13. Houbigant reads, Be not thou sent against his army, when the day of his ruin is at hand.

10. against thy brother—This aggravates the sin of Esau, that it was against him who was his brother by birth and by circumcision. The posterity of Esau followed in the steps of their father's hatred to Jacob by violence against Jacob's seed (Genesis 27:41). Jacob—not merely his own brother, but his twin brother; hence the name Jacob, not Israel, is here put emphatically. Compare Genesis 27:41- : for the opposite feeling which Jacob's seed was commanded to entertain towards Edom's. shame . . .... read more

A. The Statement of the Charge Obadiah 1:10Pride was not the only reason God would humble Edom. The Edomites had also cursed the people whom God had purposed to bless, the Israelites (cf. Genesis 27:40-41; Exodus 15:15; Numbers 20:14-21; Deuteronomy 2:4; Judges 11:17-18; 1 Samuel 14:47-48; 2 Samuel 8:13-14; 1 Kings 11:15-16; 1 Chronicles 18:11-13; Psalms 60; et al.).
