4. Yedoi or Yedo. A "seer" whose "visions against Jeroboam the son of Nebat" contained notices of Solomon's life (). His work "concerning genealogies" recorded "acts of Rehoboam" (). His "story" or commentary recorded the "acts, ways, and sayings of Abijah" (). His writings doubtless are embodied in Chronicles, so far as the Spirit of God saw them suited to form part of the inspired word. Tradition identifies him with the "man of God" who denounced Jeroboam's calf altar at Bethel (1 Kings 13), which favors; also with Oded which resembles his name ().
