Iddo (prophet)

Iddo (Hebrew: עִדּוֹ ʿĪddō; also Jedo; Greek: Αδει, Αδδω, Adei, Addō) was a biblical prophet.

According to the Books of Chronicles, he lived during the reigns of King Solomon and his heirs, Rehoboam and Abijah, in the Kingdom of Judah.

[3] A tradition of identifying Iddo with the unnamed prophet of 1 Kings 13 can be found in the Talmud,[4] first-century BC Jewish historian Josephus, the fourth- and fifth-century Christian commentator Jerome, and the medieval Jewish commentator Rashi.

The protagonist of 1 Kings 13 is identified simply as "a man of God"[5] who prophesies against Jeroboam, as Iddo is said to have done elsewhere.

Ezra requests assistance from Iddo and his brethren to bring servants for the Temple.
