DOEG ACCUSES AHIMELECH. (Sa1 22:9-16)
Doeg . . . set over the servants--Septuagint, "the mules of Saul." |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The Edomite Doeg could not refrain from yielding to this appeal, and telling Saul what he had seen when staying at Nob; namely, that Ahimelech had inquired of God for David, and given him food as well as Goliath's sword. For the fact itself, see Sa1 21:1-10, where there is no reference indeed to his inquiring of God; though it certainly took place, as Ahimelech (Sa1 22:15) does not disclaim it. Doeg is here designated נצּב, "the superintendent of Saul's servants," so that apparently he had been invested with the office of marshal of the court. |

| Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul - In Sa1 21:7 he is said to be the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul, and the Septuagint intimate that he was over the mules of Saul. Probably he was what we call the king's equery or groom. |
9 Then answered [06030] Doeg [01673] the Edomite [0130], which was set [05324] over the servants [05650] of Saul [07586], and said [0559], I saw [07200] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] coming [0935] to Nob [05011], to Ahimelech [0288] the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285].
10 And he enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068] for him, and gave [05414] him victuals [06720], and gave [05414] him the sword [02719] of Goliath [01555] the Philistine [06430].
11 Then the king [04428] sent [07971] to call [07121] Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548], the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285], and all his father's [01] house [01004], the priests [03548] that were in Nob [05011]: and they came [0935] all of them to the king [04428].
12 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Hear [08085] now, thou son [01121] of Ahitub [0285]. And he answered [0559], Here I am, my lord [0113].
13 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto him, Why have ye conspired [07194] against me, thou and the son [01121] of Jesse [03448], in that thou hast given [05414] him bread [03899], and a sword [02719], and hast enquired [07592] of God [0430] for him, that he should rise [06965] against me, to lie in wait [0693], as at this day [03117]?
14 Then Ahimelech [0288] answered [06030] the king [04428], and said [0559], And who is so faithful [0539] among all thy servants [05650] as David [01732], which is the king's [04428] son in law [02860], and goeth [05493] at thy bidding [04928], and is honourable [03513] in thine house [01004]?
15 Did I then [03117] begin [02490] to enquire [07592] of God [0430] for him? be it far from me [02486]: let not the king [04428] impute [07760] any thing [01697] unto his servant [05650], nor to all the house [01004] of my father [01]: for thy servant [05650] knew [03045] nothing [01697] of all this, less [06996] or more [01419].
16 And the king [04428] said [0559], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191], Ahimelech [0288], thou, and all thy father's [01] house [01004].
15 Did I then [03117] begin [02490] to enquire [07592] of God [0430] for him? be it far from me [02486]: let not the king [04428] impute [07760] any thing [01697] unto his servant [05650], nor to all the house [01004] of my father [01]: for thy servant [05650] knew [03045] nothing [01697] of all this, less [06996] or more [01419].
1 Then came [0935] David [01732] to Nob [05011] to Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548]: and Ahimelech [0288] was afraid [02729] at the meeting [07125] of David [01732], and said [0559] unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man [0376] with thee?
2 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548], The king [04428] hath commanded [06680] me a business [01697], and hath said [0559] unto me, Let no man [0376] know [03045] any thing [03972] of the business [01697] whereabout I send [07971] thee, and what I have commanded [06680] thee: and I have appointed [03045] my servants [05288] to such [06423] and such [0492] a place [04725].
3 Now therefore what is [03426] under thine hand [03027]? give [05414] me five [02568] loaves of bread [03899] in mine hand [03027], or what there is present [04672].
4 And the priest [03548] answered [06030] David [01732], and said [0559], There is no common [02455] bread [03899] under mine hand [03027], but there is [03426] hallowed [06944] bread [03899]; if the young men [05288] have kept [08104] themselves at least [0389] from women [0802].
5 And David [01732] answered [06030] the priest [03548], and said [0559] unto him, Of a truth [0518] women [0802] have been kept [06113] from us about these three [08032] days [08543], since I came out [03318], and the vessels [03627] of the young men [05288] are holy [06944], and the bread is in a manner [01870] common [02455], yea, though it were sanctified [06942] this day [03117] in the vessel [03627].
6 So the priest [03548] gave [05414] him hallowed [06944] bread: for there was no bread [03899] there but the shewbread [03899] [06440], that was taken [05493] from before [06440] the LORD [03068], to put [07760] hot [02527] bread [03899] in the day [03117] when it was taken away [03947].
7 Now a certain man [0376] of the servants [05650] of Saul [07586] was there that day [03117], detained [06113] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and his name [08034] was Doeg [01673], an Edomite [0130], the chiefest [047] of the herdmen [07462] that belonged to Saul [07586].
8 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Ahimelech [0288], And is there [03426] not [0371] here under thine hand [03027] spear [02595] or sword [02719]? for I have neither brought [03947] my sword [02719] nor my weapons [03627] with me [03027], because the king's [04428] business [01697] required [01961] haste [05169].
9 And the priest [03548] said [0559], The sword [02719] of Goliath [01555] the Philistine [06430], whom thou slewest [05221] in the valley [06010] of Elah [0425], behold, it is here wrapped [03874] in a cloth [08071] behind [0310] the ephod [0646]: if thou wilt take [03947] that, take [03947] it: for there is no other [0312] save [02108] that here [02088]. And David [01732] said [0559], There is none like that; give [05414] it me.
10 And David [01732] arose [06965], and fled [01272] that day [03117] for fear [06440] of Saul [07586], and went [0935] to Achish [0397] the king [04428] of Gath [01661].
7 Now a certain man [0376] of the servants [05650] of Saul [07586] was there that day [03117], detained [06113] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and his name [08034] was Doeg [01673], an Edomite [0130], the chiefest [047] of the herdmen [07462] that belonged to Saul [07586].
