John Gill Commentary 2 Chronicles 15:1

"And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:" — 2 Chronicles 15:1 (ASV)

And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded
The same with Iddo, as Hillerus ^F8 thinks; and some suppose this to be the name of the son as well as the father, but called Azariah, to distinguish him from him, see (2 Chronicles 15:8) on whom came, as the Targum, the spirit of prophecy, instructing him what to say to Asa; and the Jews say ^F9 he is the same with Iddo, and he the same that was sent to Jeroboam, to reprove him for the altar he built.
