ngokuba kwathi lapho u -Izebeli ebulala abaprofethi bakaJehova , u-Obadiya wathatha abaprofethi abayikhulu , wabafihla emhumeni ngamashumi ayisihlanu, wabondla ngesinkwa nangamanzi.

Inkosi yayala uJerameli indodana yenkosi , noSeraya indodana ka-Aziriyeli, noShelemiya indodana ka -Abideyeli ukuba babambe uBaruki umbhali noJeremiya umprofethi, kepha uJehova wabafihla.
