Subjects in this Topic:
DODO (so the Qerç, Kethibh Dodai).—1. The father of Eleazar, the second of the three captains who were over ‘the thirty’ (2Sa_23:9). In the parallel list (1Ch_11:12) the name is given as Dodo and also ‘the Ahohite’ for the erroneous ‘son of Ahohi.’ In the third list (1Ch_27:4) Dodai is described as general of the second division of the army, but the words ‘Eleazar the son of’ appear to have been accidentally omitted. The traditional spelling (Dodo) is most probably right: the name Dudu has been found on the Tell el-Amarna tablets, apparently as that of an Amorite official at the Egyp. court. 2. A Bethlehemite, father of Elhanan, one of ‘the thirty’ (2Sa_23:24, 1Ch_11:26). 3. A man of Issachar, the forefather of Tola the judge (Jdg_10:1).
