Obadiah wrote his prophecy against Edom. Not much is known about Obadiah, but probably was from the southern kingdom (Judah) and possible wrote from there.

The Edomites were descendants of Esau. Later in history they were forced to move to the area of southern Palestine and became known as Idumeans. Herod the Great was an Idumean. Obadiah predicted that the Edomites would be "cut off forever" and after 70 A.D. while trying to defend Jerusalem along with the Jews, the Edomites were never heard of again as a kingdom.
