The Edomites Attack Judea
As the Babylonians attacked from the North, Judah’s neighbor to the South, Edom, did not come to their aid. The Prophet Obadiah portrays Edom as treacherous, aligning with the Babylonians and encouraging the Babylonian destruction of Judah.
Obadiah 1:14 You [Edom] should not wait at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor hand over their survivors in the day of their trouble. From the Arad Fortress, the following warning was preserved on
Arad Ostracon 24: “...And the word of the king (Zedekiah) is incumbent upon you for your very life! Behold, I have sent to warn you [Eliashib] today: [Get] the men to Elisha: Lest Edom should come there (Ramat Negev).”

En la Biblia
Because you [Edom] harboured an ancient hatred and handed the people of Israel over to the sword in their time of calamity, the time set for their punishment—
"יַ֗עַן הֱי֤וֹת לְךָ֙ [אֱדוֹם] אֵיבַ֣ת עוֹלָ֔ם וַתַּגֵּ֥ר אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַל־יְדֵי־חָ֑רֶב בְּעֵ֣ת אֵידָ֔ם בְּעֵ֖ת עֲוֺ֥ן קֵֽץ."
