a prophet of the kingdom of Judah, who wrote the actions of
Rehoboam’s and Abijah’s reigns, 2 Chron. xii, 15. It seems by 2 Chron.
xiii, 22, that he had entitled his work, _Midrasch_, or, “Inquiries.” We
know nothing particularly concerning the life of this prophet. It is
probable that he likewise wrote some prophecies against Jeroboam, the
son of Nebat, 2 Chron. ix, 29, wherein part of Solomon’s life was
included. Josephus, and many others after him, are of opinion that it
was Iddo who was sent to Jeroboam, while he was at Bethel, and was there
dedicating an altar to the golden calves; and that it was he who was
killed by a lion, 1 Kings xiii.
