    The supplied form is tagged Noun · Proper throughout. In 1 Kings 4:14 the APB identifies Ahinadab as son of Iddo; in 2 Chronicles 12:15 and 2 Chronicles 13:22 it names Iddo in accounts concerning Rehoboam and Abijah. Ezra 5:1 and Zechariah 1:1 place the name in the longer identification, “Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo,” while Nehemiah 12:4 includes it in a list of names.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the name as “Iddo” within personal identifications, lists, and record notices. In 1 Chronicles 6:6, however, its genealogical rendering names Uzzi, Zerahiah, and Meraioth without displaying “Iddo,” so the translation is not consistently explicit for the supplied original form.
