Obadiah, prophet, Old TestamentAbstract
The aim of the article is to determine the most precise number of people who were called Obadiah in the Old Testament. The publications give different numbers, so first the issue of different forms of the same name was discussed, and then each of these characters was analyzed in terms of possible similarities with other characters bearing the same name.
