About Iddo
Iddo was a seer and prophet who lived during the time of the divided monarchy. He is mentioned in 2 Chronicles as having written accounts of the reigns of King Solomon (2Ch.9.29), King Rehoboam of Judah (2Ch.12.15), and King Abijah of Judah (2Ch.13.22). Iddo's writings were used as sources by the Chronicler when compiling the history of these kings. Although his works are not part of the biblical canon, they were considered reliable historical records.
