Iddo (proper name: prophet/seer in Chronicles, with Ketiv/Qere textual variants)
This proper name appears with textual variants (Ketiv vs. Qere) for a prophet or seer whose writings are mentioned as a source for Solomon's acts. The name Iddo appears elsewhere in Chronicles for various individuals—a seer whose visions concerned Jeroboam, among others. The textual uncertainty (Yedo vs. Yedai in the variants) reflects scribal traditions about how to vocalize this name. The individual was significant enough that his prophetic writings were used as historical sources by the Chronicler.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper name appearing in reference to prophetic writings about Solomon (2 Chr 9:29, twice for Ketiv and Qere variants). BDB identifies this with Iddo the seer mentioned elsewhere in Chronicles. The Qere suggests reading 'Yedo' while the Ketiv has a slightly different form. Transliterations reflect the variants: English 'Iddo' or notes the variants 'Yedo/Yedai,' Spanish and French/German similarly preserve both Hebrew forms, acknowledging ancient uncertainty about the exact vocalization of this prophetic source's name. 2×
