What does Obadiah's name mean?

Servant of Jehovah. Actually, Micah's name means 'Who is like unto Jehovah,' Nahum's means 'Consolation' and 'Jehovah hides' is the meaning of Zephaniah's name.

What else does Obadiah's name mean?

Worshipper of Jehovah. I made up the other ones this time.

Obadiah spoke of God's judgment upon what people?

Edomites. See Obadiah 1. His vision was concerning Edom, which decended from Esau (remember Jacob and Esau's rivalry, Genesis 25:22-26).

What do we know about Obadiah?

None of the above. In this short book, nothing is mentioned of Obadiah's personal life.

For what trait does God rebuke the people through Obadiah?

Pride. V. 3 reads, '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?'
