Biography

Biblical lists of David's mighty men identify individuals such as Dodo, Eleazar, and Zalmon with the designation 'Ahohite.' Chronicles likewise uses the term in military genealogical contexts. The Bible does not present 'Ahohite' itself as one individual with a biography; it indicates descent or clan association, traditionally connected with Ahoah of Benjamin.

Biblical Significance

This record is best treated as a group or clan designation rather than an individual person. It should eventually be reviewed alongside other non-person entries in the figures table.
