Usage: Iddo is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals.

Context: Iddo the Seer: Iddo is mentioned as a prophet or seer during the reign of King Solomon and King Rehoboam. He is noted for having recorded genealogies and events concerning the kings of Israel. In 2 Chronicles 9:29, it is stated, "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?"

In Zechariah 1:1, it is written, "In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo." This Iddo is part of the priestly lineage, indicating his family's involvement in the religious leadership of Israel.

Iddo the Leader of the Exiles: In Ezra 8:17, Iddo is referenced as a leader among the exiles returning from Babylon. Ezra sends a delegation to Iddo to request ministers for the house of God, highlighting his influence and leadership among the returning exiles.
