In his "MacArthur Study Bible" Dr John MacArthur says "Nothing is known for certain about the author", but that Obadiah was probably a contemporary of Elijah and Elisha, and wrote the Book of Obadiah soon after the Edomite assault on Jerusalem in verses 10-14 between 848-841BC during the reign of Jehoram of Judah.
Your are probably referring to Jacob and Esau. They were twins born to Isaac and Rebekah. God chose Jacob to continue the Hebrew (Israel) race and He rejected Esau. Esau became the "father" of the Edomite's. They would be distant cousins of Israel. To read of the fascinating story of Jacob and Esau see Genesis, chapter 27.
The room is called a sanctuary, the seats are called pews

The Bible does not mention how he dies. Presumably it was from old age.
Doeg HaAdomi (the Edomite) is mentioned in 1 Samuel ch. 21 and 22, and Psalms 52. He was the chief of King Saul's herdsmen. In an act born of jealousy (or of over-zealous loyalty to Saul), he slandered David in front of Saul, and (as a result) caused the death of tens of pious Kohanim (priests). See the attached Related Link for fuller detail.
John Doeg was born on 1908-12-07.
John Doeg died on 1978-04-27.
Yes. He is an Edomite. Edomites hate God's Chosen people, Israelites (so-called "Black people") in America.
No, Herod the Tetrarch was not Jewish. He was an Idumean, which is a people group with Edomite ancestry.

John Doeg defeated Frances Sheilds 10-8, 1-6, 6-4, 16-14.
Some things we are not told in the Bible. Other books have these answers. "The Works of Flavius Josephus" has an excellent section on Herod the Great.
King Herod was born in 73 BCE in Judea. Herod's mother was an ethnic Arab and his father was an Edomite. When Rome made Herod a client king, many Jews resented it. Although Herod was raised as a Jew, his alliance with Rome led many of his Jewish subjects despise him. Many Jews considered Herod an "outsider" and a "half Jew".
Herod the Great was of Idumaean blood. The Idumaeans were of the Edomite stock, the descendants of Esau. However we do not know if Herod was born in Edom or in Israel as John Hyrcanus brought some idumaeans into Palestine about B.C. 130.
