Bible Person

Iddo

Meaning: his band; power; praise · Male · 3 cross references

This Iddo entry refers to the prophet and court historian associated with the reigns of Solomon's successors in Judah, not to other men of the same name. He stands at the intersection of prophecy, royal memory, and written record. First appears in 2 Chr 9:29.1

AI summary: Iddo matters because the cross references treat him as a preserved witness to Judah's early divided-monarchy history. His writings are cited as sources for the acts of Rehoboam and Abijah, showing that prophetic voices also functioned as custodians of national memory and royal accountability. Taken together, the material presents this Iddo as a prophetic chronicler whose work helped frame Judah's history before God.1
