Context of Obadiah 1:9

7All the men in your confederacy Shall force you to the border; The men at peace with you Shall deceive you and prevail against you. Those who eat your bread shall lay a trap for you. No one is aware of it. 8“Will I not in that day,” says the Lord, “Even destroy the wise men from Edom, And understanding from the mountains of Esau? Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau May be cut off by slaughter. 10“For violence against your brother Jacob, Shame shall cover you, And you shall be cut off forever. 11In the day that you stood on the other side— In the day that strangers carried captive his forces, When foreigners entered his gates And cast lots for Jerusalem— Even you were as one of them.

Commentaries on Obadiah 1:9

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9Thy mighty men, O Teman - This was one of the strongest places in Idumea; and is put here, as in Amos 1:2, and elsewhere, for Idumea itself. Mount of Esau - Mount Seir.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9And thy mighty, O Teman, shall be dismayed - The pagan, more religiously than we, ascribed panic to the immediate action of one of their gods, or to Nature deified, Pan, i. e., the Universe: wrong as to the being whom they “ignorantly worshiped;” right, in ascribing it to what they thought a divine agency. Holy Scripture at times discovers the hidden agency, that we may acknowledge God‘s Hand in those terrors which we cannot account for. So it relates, on…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 99. cut off by slaughter--Maurer translates, "on account of the slaughter," namely, that inflicted on Judea by Edom (compare Ob 14).
