Dodo is a name mentioned in the Old Testament, associated with several individuals who played roles in the history of Israel. The name Dodo is of Hebrew origin, and it is believed to mean "beloved" or "loving." The individuals named Dodo are noted for their connections to significant figures and events in the biblical narrative.

1. Dodo the Ahohite: Dodo is identified as the father of Eleazar, one of King David's mighty warriors. Eleazar is listed among the "Three Mighty Men" who were renowned for their bravery and loyalty to David. In 2 Samuel 23:9-10 , it is recorded: "Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas-dammim for battle. Then the men of Israel retreated, but he stood his ground and struck down the Philistines until his hand grew weary and stuck to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day; the troops returned to Eleazar, but only to plunder the dead." This passage highlights the valor and faithfulness of Eleazar, reflecting the legacy of his father, Dodo.

2. Dodo of Bethlehem: Another Dodo is mentioned as the father of Elhanan, one of David's warriors. In 2 Samuel 23:24 , it states: "Among the Thirty were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem." This Dodo is noted for his connection to Bethlehem, the city that holds significant importance as the birthplace of King David and later, Jesus Christ. Elhanan, his son, is recognized as one of the valiant men who served under David, contributing to the strength and success of David's reign.

3. Dodo the Man of Issachar: In Judges 10:1 , Dodo is mentioned as the grandfather of Tola, a judge of Israel: "After the time of Abimelech, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim." Tola served as a judge for twenty-three years, providing leadership and stability to the nation of Israel during a tumultuous period. The mention of Dodo in this lineage underscores the heritage of leadership and service within his family.

The individuals named Dodo in the Bible are associated with courage, leadership, and a legacy of faithfulness. Their descendants played crucial roles in the history of Israel, serving as warriors and judges who upheld the values and mission of God's chosen people. The name Dodo, though not widely known, is linked to significant contributions to the biblical narrative and the unfolding of God's plan for Israel.Dodo
