And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite.
Dodai the Ahohite was in charge of the division of the second month; in his division were 24,000.
He was the most renowned of the thirty and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.
and said, “Far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
Abishua, Naaman, Ahoah,
He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.
and said, “Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did. Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and killed them and won a name beside the three. He was the most renowned of the thirty and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.
And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of Dodo, son of Ahohi. He was with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew.
