- Doeg:
- He is also said to be "the chiefest of the herdsmen that belonged to Saul;" and the Septuagint intimates that he was over the mules of Saul. He may have been what we call the king's equerry or groom. "Now a certain manª of the servantsª¹ of Saulª [was] there¹ that¹ day,ª detainedª° beforeª the LORD;ª and his nameª [was] Doeg,ª an Edomite,ª the chiefestª of the herdmenª° that¹ [belonged] to Saul.ª" {1Sm 21:7} + "[[To the chief Musician,ª° Maschil,ª° [A Psalm] of David,ª when Doegª the Edomiteª cameª° and toldª° Saul,ª and saidª° unto him, Davidª is comeª° to¹ the houseª of Ahimelech.]]ª Why¹ boastest²° thou thyself¹ in mischief,ª O mighty² man?¹ the goodnessª of Godª [endureth] continually.ª¹" {Psa 52:1} *title "[[To the chief Musician,ª° Maschil,ª° [A Psalm] of David,ª when Doegª the Edomiteª cameª° and toldª° Saul,ª and saidª° unto him, Davidª is comeª° to¹ the houseª of Ahimelech.]]ª Why¹ boastest²° thou thyself¹ in mischief,ª O mighty² man?¹ the goodnessª of Godª [endureth] continually.ª¹ ... Godª shall likewise¹ destroyª° thee for ever,ª he shall take thee away,ª° and pluck thee outª° of [thy] dwelling place,ª¹ and root¹ thee out²° of the landª¹ of the living.ª Selah.ª" {Psa 52:1-5} + "A falseª witnessª shall not¹ be unpunished,ª° and [he that] speakethª° liesª shall not¹ escape.ª°" {Prv 19:5} + "If a rulerª° hearkenª° to¹ lies,ªª all¹ his servantsª° [are] wicked.ª" {Prv 29:12} + "In thee are¹ men²¹ that carry talesª to¹ shedª° blood:ª and in thee they eatª° upon¹ the mountains:ª in the midstª of thee they commitª° lewdness.ª" {Ezk 22:9} + "Nowª the¹ chief priests,ª andª elders,ª andª allª the¹ council,ª soughtª° false witnessª againstª Jesus,ª toª put²° him² to death;ª°¹ ...
