About Iddo

Iddo, also known as Adaiah, appears in the genealogy of the Levites who served as temple singers (1Ch.6.21,41). He is listed as a descendant of Gershom, one of the sons of Levi. The genealogy traces the lineage of the temple singers from the time of King David to the post-exilic period. Iddo's mention in this context suggests that he was a Levite who played a role in the musical ministry of the temple.
