From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Obadiah, Book of
      consists of one chapter, "concerning Edom," its impending doom
      (1:1-16), and the restoration of Israel (1:17-21). This is the
      shortest book of the Old Testament.
     
         There are on record the account of four captures of Jerusalem,
      (1) by Shishak in the reign of Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:25); (2) by
      the Philistines and Arabians in the reign of Jehoram (2 Chr.
      21:16); (3) by Joash, the king of Israel, in the reign of
      Amaziah (2 Kings 14:13); and (4) by the Babylonians, when
      Jerusalem was taken and destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar (B.C. 586).
      Obadiah (1:11-14) speaks of this capture as a thing past. He
      sees the calamity as having already come on Jerusalem, and the
      Edomites as joining their forces with those of the Chaldeans in
      bringing about the degradation and ruin of Israel. We do not
      indeed read that the Edomites actually took part with the
      Chaldeans, but the probabilities are that they did so, and this
      explains the words of Obadiah in denouncing against Edom the
      judgments of God. The date of his prophecies was thus in or
      about the year of the destruction of Jerusalem.
     
         Edom is the type of Israel's and of God's last foe (Isa.
      63:1-4). These will finally all be vanquished, and the kingdom
      will be the Lord's (comp. Ps. 22:28).
