Apocrypha · Chapter 15 of 25
Hagiography
Obadiah the prophet: he was from Shechem, from the field of Bethacharam.
2This is the third captain of fifty, whom Elijah the Tishbite spared; and he went down and came to the king.
3And after these things, leaving his royal rank, he attached himself to the prophet Elijah and became his disciple; and having endured many things for his sake, he was preserved; and having died he was buried in the field of Bethacharam with his fathers.
