_ _ Obadiah feared the Lord greatly — Although he did not follow the course taken by the Levites and the majority of pious Israelites at that time of emigration into Judah (2 Chronicles 11:13-16), he was a secret and sincere worshipper. He probably considered the violent character of the government, and his power of doing some good to the persecuted people of God as a sufficient excuse for his not going to worship in Jerusalem. |
1 Kings 18:3
Obadiah — Being valued by Ahab for his great prudence and fidelity, and therefore indulged as to the worship of the calves and Baal.

Although they seem not to be wholly excusable in this neglect, yet because they worshipped God in spirit and truth, and performed all moral duties to God and their brethren, and abstained from idolatry, being kept from Jerusalem by violence, God bares with their infirmity herein. |
