One of the twelve Minor Prophets of the Old Testament and the author of the Book of Obadiah.
Rarely heard on today's playgrounds, the name Obed is shared by several men in the Bible, the most famous of whom is probably Boaz and Ruth's son Obed, who is the future father of Jesse and grandfather of King David.
