Commentary
Commentary on Obadiah 1:19
Theological / DevotionalSouth. Heb. negeb, the Negeb, or dry country to the south of Judah (see on Joshua 15:19).
Plain. Heb. shephelah, the Shephelah, the name of the strip of country consisting of low hills situated between the mountains of Judah and the coastal plain (see on Joshua 15:33).
Fields of Samaria. The redistribution of territory here indicated, with Judah and Benjamin occupying territories formerly held by the ten tribes, was doubtless due to the fact that “to the ten tribes, long rebellious and impenitent, was given no promise of complete restoration to their former power in Palestine” (PK 298). Individual Israelites had the privilege of joining the new state, but there was to be only one nation.
