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).

Dodo
(Hebrews Dodo', דּוֹדוֹ, amatory; but, according to Fürst, an abbreviation of Dodavah), the name of three men.
1. (Sept. πατράδελφος αὐτοῦ v.r. πατὴρ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ; Vulg. patruus Ahimelech, both apparently as a rendering of "Ahohite" inserted.) A descendant of Issachar, father of Phuah, and grandfather of the judge Tola (Jdg_10:1). B.C. considerably ante 1319.
2. (Sept. Δουδί, Δωδαϊv; Vulg. patruus ejus.) An Ahohite (q.v.), father of Eleazar, who was one of David's three special heroes (2Sa_23:9, margin; 1Ch_11:12). B.C. ante 1046. He seems to be the same with the DODAI mentioned in 1Ch_27:4, as commander of the fourth monthly division of the royal troops under David. This latter form of the name occurs in the Hebrew text of 2Sa_23:9 (דֹּדֹי), and is favored by the Sept. as well as by Josephus (Ant. 7:12, 4, Δώδειος); and is believed by Kennicott (Dissertation, page 134), who has examined these lists with great minuteness, to be the correct one. The Jewish tradition (Jerome, Qu. Hebr. on 1Ch_11:12) was that Dodo was the brother of Jesse.
3. (Sept. Δουσὶ πατράδελφος αὐτοῦ, and Δωδωαί v.r. Δωδωέ; Vulg. patruus jus.) A Bethlehemite, and father of the Elhanan who was one of David's thirty heroes (2Sa_23:24; 1Ch_11:26). B.C. ante 1046.
