Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul. (1 Samuel 21:7)
Doeg had embraced the Hebrew religion and was at the tabernacle paying his vows (PP 656). The circumstances of these vows are not known. Evidently he had committed some trespass which merited the rebuke of Ahimelech, for this action of the priest was one of the primary reasons why Doeg later turned informer against Ahimelech (PP 659).
Doeg, an Edomite.
Probably one of the hostages or slaves brought back from Saul’s war against Edom (ch. 14:47).
