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. 1 Kings (1 Samuel) 22:11
