The Edomites were descended from Esau, the brother of Jacob (Israel) in the biblical narrative. The prophet Obadiah condemned them for their violence and betrayal against the Israelites during their time of distress, particularly when Jerusalem was attacked. Obadiah's prophecy highlights the Edomites' arrogance and their failure to show compassion to their relatives, the Israelites.
