Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy

Oded was a prophet and the father of Azariah, who prophesied during the reign of King Asa of Judah.

• only referred to as Oded עוֹדֵד;
• father of Azariah עֲזַרְיָה.

Oded was a prophet who lived during the reign of King Asa of Judah. He was the father of Azariah, another prophet (2 Chronicles 15:1). Azariah, inspired by the Spirit of God, delivered a message to King Asa, encouraging him to seek the Lord and reminding him of the consequences of forsaking God (2 Chronicles 15:1-7). This prophecy prompted Asa to initiate religious reforms in Judah, removing idols and repairing the altar of the Lord (2 Chronicles 15:8). Although Oded himself is not recorded as delivering a prophecy, his role as the father of Azariah suggests that he may have been influential in his son's prophetic ministry.
