Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:9

9. Mighty men Warriors. When they realize at last that they have been entrapped, that wisdom and discernment have taken their flight, the warriors will lose heart, and the result will be the complete undoing of Edom. O Teman The change to the direct address adds force and intensity to the threat. On Teman see comment on Amos 1:12.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:17-21

The exaltation of the Jews, Obadiah 1:17-21. The judgment upon the nations is accompanied and followed by the restoration and glorification of Zion (compare Joel 2:32 ff.). The prophet’s hope of the future embraces four elements: (1) the restoration of the remnant (Obadiah 1:17); (2) the annihilation of Edom (Obadiah 1:18); (3) the expansion of the territory of the Jews (Obadiah 1:19-20); (4) the supremacy of Jehovah (Obadiah 1:21).
