1. Judges 10:1

   After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.

   ›Commentary on Judges 10:12 voices

   “There arose - Not of himself, but raised by God, as the other Judges were. To defend - Or, to save, which he did not by fighting against, and overthrowing their enemies, but by a prudent and pious government of them, whereby he kept them from sedition, oppression, and idolatry. In Shamir - Which was in the very midst of the land.

   “And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel,....

2. 2 Samuel 23:9

   Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he went with David to taunt the Philistines who had gathered for battle at Pas-dammim. The men of Israel retreated,

   ›Commentary on 2 Samuel 23:92 voices

   “And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite,....

   “Gone away - Rather, went up to battle (2Sa 5:19; 2Ki 3:21, etc.) against them. These words and what follows as far as “troop” 2Sa 23:11 have fallen out of the text in Chronicles. The effect of this is to omit EIeazar’s feat, as here described, to attribute to him Shammah’s victory, to misplace the flight of the Israelites, and to omit Shammah altogether from the list of David’s mighty men.

3. 2 Samuel 23:24

   Now these were members of the Thirty: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

   ›Commentary on 2 Samuel 23:242 voices

   “Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty,.... Or rather over the thirty (n), who are next mentioned; since there are thirty reckoned besides him, and the Arabic version calls him the prince of the thirty; Joab is not named at all, because he was general of the whole army, and so not to be reckoned in any of the three classes: Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem: a townsman of David. (n) בשלישים "supra triginta istos", Junius & Tremellius.

   “Asahel - was one of the thirty - Asahel was one of those officers, or troops, called the shalishim. This Asahel, brother of Joab, was the same that was killed by Abner, 2Sa 2:23.

4. 1 Chronicles 11:12

   Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:121 voice

   “Jashobeam, an Hachmonite--or, "son of Hachmoni." He is called also son of Zabdiel (1Ch 27:2), so that, strictly speaking, he was the grandson of Hachmoni (compare 1Ch 27:32). lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time--The feat is said (2Sa 23:8) to have been a slaughter of eight hundred in one day.

5. 1 Chronicles 11:26

   Now these were the mighty men: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:262 voices

   “Also the valiant men of the armies--This was the third degree of military rank, and Asahel was their chief; the names of few of those mentioned are historically known.

   “etc. The list of names here given corresponds generally with that in 2 Sam. 23:24-39, but presents several remarkable differences. (1) the number in Chronicles is 47; the number in Samuel is 31. (2) Four names in the list of Chronicles are not in Samuel. (3) five names in Samuel are not in Chronicles. (4) many of the other names, both personal and local, vary in the two lists. It is quite possible that the two lists varied to some extent originally.

6. 1 Chronicles 27:4

   Dodai the Ahohite was in charge of the division for the second month, and Mikloth was the leader. There were 24,000 men in his division.

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 27:41 voice

   “Dodai The words “Eleazar, son of,” have probably fallen out before Dodai (or Dodo). According to Jewish tradition, EIeazar 1Ch 11:12 was cousin to David; his father, Dodai, being Jesse’s brother. Mikloth was probably second in command to Eleazar.
