After the death of Uzzah, the ark, which was being conducted from the house of Abinadab in
Gibeah to the city of David, was carried aside into the house of Obed edom, where it continued
three months. It was brought thence by David. (2 Samuel 6:12; 1 Chronicles 15:25)
•“Obed-edom the son of Jeduthun” (1 Chronicles 16:38) a Merarite Levite, appears to be a different
person from the last mentioned. He was a Levite of the second degree and a gate-keeper for the
ark, (1 Chronicles 15:18,24) appointed to sound “with harps on the Sheminith to excel.” ( 1
Chronicles 15:21; 16:5) (B.C. 1043.)
Obil
(chief of the camels), a keeper of the herds of camels in the reign of David. (1 Chronicles 27:30)
(B.C. 1050.)
Oblation
[Sacrifice]
Oboth
(bottles), one of the encampments of the Israelites, east of Moab. (Numbers 21:10; 33:43) Its
exact site is unknown but it was probably south of the Dead Sea, on the boundary between Moab
and Edom.—ED).
Ocran
(troubled), an Asherite, father of Pagiel. (Numbers 1:13; 2:27; 7:72,77; 10:26) (B.C. before
1658.)
Oded
(restoring).
•The father of Azariah the prophet, in the reign of Asa. (2 Chronicles 15:1) (B.C. before 953.)
•A prophet of Jehovah in Samaria, at the time of Pekah’s invasion of Judah. (2 Chronicles 28:9)
(B.C. 739.)
Odollam

Officer
It is obvious that most, if not all, of the Hebrew words rendered “officer” are either of an
indefinite character or are synonymous terms for functionaries known under other and more specific
names, as “scribe,” “eunuch” etc. The two words so rendered in the New Testament denote—
•An inferior officer of a court of justice, a messenger or bailiff, like the Roman viator or lictor.
(Matthew 5:25; Acts 5:22)
•Officers whose duty it was to register and collect fines imposed by courts of justice. (Luke 12:58)
Og
(giant, literally long-necked), an Amoritish king of Bashan, whose rule extended over sixty
cities. (Joshua 13:12) He was one of the last representatives of the giant race of Rephaim, and was,
with his children and his people, defeated and exterminated by the Israelites at Edrei immediately
after the conquest of Sihon. (Numbers 32:33; 3:1-13) Also (1:4; 4:47; 31:4; Joshua 2:10; 9:10;
13:12,30) The belief in Og’s enormous stature is corroborated by an allusion to his iron bedstead
preserved in “Rabbath of the children of Ammon.” (3:11) (B.C. 1461.)
