the prophet is thought to have been the same as the governor of Ahab's house, 1 Kings 18:3 , &c; and some are of opinion, he was that Obadiah whom Josiah made overseer of the works of the temple, 2 Chronicles 34:12 . Indeed, the age in which this prophet lived is very uncertain. Some think that he was contemporary with Hosea, Amos, and Joel; while others are of opinion that he lived in the time of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and that he delivered his prophecy about B.C. 585, soon after the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. His book, which consists of a single chapter, is written with great beauty and elegance, and contains predictions of the utter destruction of the Edomites, and of the future restoration and prosperity of the Jews.
