an epithet applied to Dodo, one of Solomon's captains ( 1 Chronicles 27:4 ); to his son Eleazar, one of David's three mightiest heroes ( 2 Samuel 23:9 ; 1 Chronicles 11:12 ); and to Zalmon, one of the thirty ( 2 Samuel 23:28 ; 1 Chronicles 11:29 ), from their descent from Ahoah.
AHOHITE
a-ho'-hit ('achochi):
A patronymic employed in connection with the descendants of AHOAH (which see) such as Doda (2 Samuel 23:9) or Dodo (1 Chronicles 11:12), Ilai (29) or Zalmon (2 Samuel 23:28), and also Eleazar, son of Dodo (1 Chronicles 11:12). The family must have been fond of military affairs, for all the above were officers in David and Solomon's armies.
