Prophet Oded
ок. VIII в. до Р.Х.
Prophet Oded — an 8th-century BC Samarian prophet who confronted the Israelite army returning with 200,000 Judean captives and persuaded them to release the prisoners (2 Chronicles 28:9-15).
HONEST NOTE ON IDENTITY AND DATE: the Old Testament mentions two men named Oded, about a century apart: (a) Oded, father of the prophet Azariah, active under King Asa of Judah (2 Chronicles 15:1,8), c. 9th century BC; (b) Oded, a prophet in Samaria under King Pekah of Israel, contemporary with King Ahaz of Judah (2 Chronicles 28:9-15), c. 735 BC. The brief description already in the database ("who rebuked King Ahaz") clearly points to figure (b); given the century-long gap between the two episodes, these two biblical Odeds are almost certainly different men, though Scripture does not state this explicitly.
The previously listed date "September 1/14" was NOT confirmed by any source checked (azbyka.ru, pravenc.ru, the complete "Menologion of the East" of Archbishop Sergius (Spassky)) — the date field has been left empty as honestly undetermined, rather than retaining an unverifiable figure; this is typical for secondary Old Testament figures who never received their own day of commemoration in Orthodox liturgical practice.
The Prophet Oded confronted the Israelite army returning to Samaria after a victory over Judah with 200,000 captive Judean women, children, and plunder. He rebuked their plan to enslave their fellow Israelites, warning of the Lord's wrath; together with four chiefs of the tribe of Ephraim, he persuaded the commanders to feed, clothe, and release the captives, escorting them to Jericho.
