And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his
house,
&c.] Perhaps his steward: the Jews F13 take
him to be Obadiah the prophet, who wrote the small prophecy that
goes by his name:
(now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly:)
who, though he did not go up to Jerusalem to worship, which
ceremonial service was dispensed with in him, yet he did not
worship the calves, nor Baal, but served the Lord in a spiritual
manner.
