Where Oded appears in Scripture

2 Chronicles 15

וַֽעֲזַרְיָהוּ בֶּן-עוֹדֵד הָֽיְתָה עָלָיו רוּחַ אֱלֹהִֽים׃
1
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
וְכִשְׁמֹעַ אָסָא הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְהַנְּבוּאָה עֹדֵד הַנָּבִיא הִתְחַזַּק וַיַּֽעֲבֵר הַשִּׁקּוּצִים מִכָּל-אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וּמִן-הֶעָרִים אֲשֶׁר לָכַד מֵהַר אֶפְרָיִם וַיְחַדֵּשׁ אֶת-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי אוּלָם יְהוָֽה׃
8
And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

2 Chronicles 28

וְשָׁם הָיָה נָבִיא לַֽיהוָה עֹדֵד שְׁמוֹ וַיֵּצֵא לִפְנֵי הַצָּבָא הַבָּא לְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הִנֵּה בַּֽחֲמַת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם עַל-יְהוּדָה נְתָנָם בְּיֶדְכֶם וַתַּֽהַרְגוּ-בָם בְזַעַף עַד לַשָּׁמַיִם הִגִּֽיעַ׃
9
But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.
