Dodo (Biblical name)

Dodo (possibly meaning "beloved") is a name given to three persons in the Bible:

* An Ahohite, father of Eleazar, who was one of David's three mighty men who were over the thirty. (2 Samuel 23:9; 1 Chronicles 11:12)
* A man from Bethlehem, and father of Elhanan, who was one of David's thirty heroes (2 Samuel 23:24).
