Summary: The prophet 𐤉𐤃𐤃𐤅 (Iddo)—whose name means “Timely” or “Appointed by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH)”—was a prophet and seer during the time of King Yarob’am (Jeroboam) and later referenced in the post-exilic period. He is mentioned in the days of King Rehoboam and Abiyah, providing inspired writings that recorded divine acts and genealogies. His prophetic records were later preserved and referenced by Ezra, indicating his writings had enduring divine and historical authority. 𐤉𐤃𐤃𐤅’s ministry centered around divine timing and the documentation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s dealings with His people, reminding future generations that the Most High appoints and fulfills every season according to His word. Some traditions also associate Iddo as the grandfather of the prophet ZakarYAHU (Zechariah), continuing a lineage of consecrated prophetic service.

Summary: The prophet and seer 𐤄𐤍𐤍𐤉𐤉𐤄𐤅 (HananiYAHU / Hanani)—whose name means “Gracious of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH)”—was a Yahudite who served during the reign of King Asa of Yahudah. When Asa turned from trusting in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and relied instead on an alliance with the king of Aram (Syria), HananiYAHU was sent by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to rebuke him for his lack of trust and disobedience. Though Asa became angry and imprisoned him, HananiYAHU’s courage demonstrated the unwavering duty of a true prophet to speak the word of YaHU’aH regardless of consequence. His legacy of boldness and truth continued through his sons, including YehuyAL (Jehu) the prophet who later confronted King Baasha and King Yahoshaphat. HananiYAHU’s message stands as a lasting witness that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s favor remains upon those whose hearts are steadfast and undivided toward Him.

Summary: The prophetess 𐤄𐤋𐤃𐤀 (HuldaYAHU / Huldah)—whose name means “Weasel” or “One Who Brings Forth Hidden Truth”—was a woman of Yahudah living in Yarushalayim during the reign of King YoshiYAHU (Josiah). She was the wife of Shallum, the keeper of the king’s wardrobe, and was recognized as a prophetess among the people. When the Book of the Torah was discovered in the Temple, the king’s officials sought Hulda’s counsel to confirm its authenticity and meaning. Through her, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH) confirmed impending judgment upon Yahudah for their idolatry, but also mercy upon King YoshiYAHU because of his humility and repentance. Hulda’s prophetic accuracy and authority reveal the vital role of consecrated women in the nation’s restoration and their place as vessels of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s truth in times of apostasy.
