4. 2 Chronicles 9:29

   As for the rest of the acts of Solomon, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Records of Nathan the Prophet, in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the Seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?

   ›Commentary on 2 Chronicles 9:291 voice

   “The book of Nathan ... - On the “books” here mentioned, see the introduction to Chronicles, the second note. We hear nothing of Iddo in Kings: but he is mentioned below twice 2Ch 12:15; 2Ch 13:22. In the latter of these passages he is called not “the seer,” but “the prophet.” He seems to have been the author of three works: (1) Visions against Jeroboam; (2) A book of genealogies; and (3) A commentary or history. According to some, he was identical with Oded, the father of Azariah, who prophesied in the reign of Asa (see the 2Ch 15:1 note).

6. 2 Chronicles 13:22

   Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.

   ›Commentary on 2 Chronicles 13:222 voices

   “And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings,.... Not only his warlike actions, and his course of life, but some remarkable sayings of his, he being a man of wisdom and eloquence, as his above speech shows: are written in the story of the prophet Iddo; who might write the history of his own times; see 1Ki 15:7.

   “Written in the story - במדרש bemidrash, “in the commentary;” this, as far as I recollect, is the first place where a midrash or commentary is mentioned. The margin is right. His ways, and his sayings - The commentary of the prophet Iddo is lost. What his sayings were we cannot tell; but from the specimen in this chapter, he appears to have been a very able speaker, and one who knew well how to make the best use of his argument.

7. Ezra 5:1

   Later, the prophets Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.

   ›Commentary on Ezra 5:12 voices

   “Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo,....

   “Haggai and Zechariah stirred up Zerubbabel and Joshua Ezr 5:2; Hag 1:14, and warned the people against neglecting the building of the temple, in order to give themselves to the beautifying of their own houses (see Hag 1:4, Hag 1:9). Zechariah was the son of Berechiah, and grandson of Iddo (see the marginal reference; Mat 23:35). Compare a similar application of “son” in the case of Jehu (see the 2Ki 9:20 note).
