David's several officers Dodai the Ahohite Dodai is identified as an Ahohite, which connects him to the clan of Ahoah, a descendant of Benjamin. This highlights the tribal organization of Israel and the importance of lineage. The Ahohites are mentioned in other parts of the Bible, such as in the list of David's mighty warriors (2 Samuel 23:9), indicating their valor and significance in Israel's military history. was in charge of the division for the second month and Mikloth was the leader There were 24,000 men in his division Persons / Places / Events 1. Dodai the AhohiteDodai is identified as the leader of the division for the second month. The term "Ahohite" likely refers to his lineage or clan, possibly connected to Ahoah, a descendant of Benjamin. 2. Mikloth Mikloth is mentioned as the leader under Dodai, indicating a position of authority within the military structure. 3. The Division for the Second Month This refers to the organized military structure established by King David, where each division served for one month out of the year, ensuring a ready and rotating defense force. Teaching Points Leadership and LegacyDodai's role as a leader highlights the importance of leadership within God's ordained structures. His family's legacy, including his son Eleazar, underscores the impact of godly leadership across generations. Organized Service The division of military service into monthly rotations reflects the value of organization and preparedness in serving God's purposes. This principle can be applied to how we organize our own lives and ministries. Faithfulness in Assigned Roles Mikloth's position under Dodai illustrates the importance of faithfulness in the roles we are given, whether in leadership or support positions. Each role is vital to the overall mission.(4) Dodai an Ahohite.--The Ahohite. 1Chronicles 11:11 proves that the right reading is Eliezer son of Dodai the Ahohite. And of his course was Mikloth also the ruler.--Literally, and his course, and Mikloth the prince (n?gid); which appears meaningless. Perhaps the "and" before Mikloth is spurious. (Comp. end of 1Chronicles 27:6.) The sense may then be that this division included Mikloth "the prince," an unknown personage; or that Mikloth was the chief man in the division. (See 1Chronicles 8:32; 1Chronicles 9:37, where Mikloth is a Benjamite name.) The LXX. and Vulg. agree with Authorised Version; the Syriac and Arabic are wanting in this chapter. Verse 4. - Before the name Dodai we must supply "Eleazar the son of," on the authority of 1 Chronicles 11:12; 2 Samuel 23:9. The allusion to Mikloth (of the tribe of Benjamin, according to 1 Chronicles 8:32; 1 Chronicles 9:37) in this verse is not plain. The translation may possibly be the same which our Authorized Version gives, And over the course of the second month was (Eleazar, the son of) Dodai the Ahohite, and (over) his (or, its) course also Mikloth was ruler. The appearances of the Hebrew text, however, favour the supposition of an inaccurate text. A somewhat similar con. struction and position of words in ver. 6 is less difficult by the absence of a conjunction before Ammizabad.Parallel Commentaries ...
