Dodavahu

People · Updated 2026-05-08

Dodavahu of Mareshah is named in 2 Chronicles 20:37 as the father of the prophet Eliezer. The verse records that "Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your works. And the ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish."

Dodavahu is not described as a prophet himself; that role belongs to his son Eliezer. The name appears only at this single verse in UPDV.
