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; 2 Chronicles 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 2 Chronicles 15:1 note).
