STEPBible TIPNR
Dodavahu, son of Eliezer of Mareshah, is mentioned in 2Ch 20:37 as a prophet who rebuked King Jehoshaphat of Judah for his alliance with Ahaziah, the wicked king of Israel. This incident occurred after Jehoshaphat had successfully sought the Lord's help in defeating the Moabites and Ammonites (2Ch 20:1-30).
Following this victory, Jehoshaphat allied himself with Ahaziah to build ships to go to Tarshish (2Ch 20:35-36). This alliance was ill-advised, as Ahaziah was known for his wickedness and had led Israel into idolatry (1Kings 22).
