DODO (so the Qerç, Kethibh Dodai ). 1. The father of Eleazar, the second of the three captains who were over ‘the thirty’ ( 2 Samuel 23:9 ). In the parallel list ( 1 Chronicles 11:12 ) the name is given as Dodo and also ‘the Ahohite’ for the erroneous ‘son of Ahohi.’ In the third list ( 1 Chronicles 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’ ( 2 Samuel 23:24 , 1 Chronicles 11:26 ). 3. A man of Issachar, the forefather of Tola the judge ( Judges 10:1 ).
