Description
And a man from among the courtiers of Saul was there on that day, detained before the Lord, and his name was Doeg the Edomite, [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] of Saul. (1 Sam 21:8) The unique term [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] has perplexed scholars since medieval times. Literally, the term means "the mighty one of the herdsmen" or "chief among the shepherds." (1) There are two problems with this title: (1) The nature of this official's functions requires explanation. (2) What is the link (if any) between Doeg's title and his activities in 1 Sam 21-22? Doeg informs Saul of the contacts between David and Ahimelech and then acts as executioner of Ahimelech and eighty-five of his fellow priests. Informing the king about disloyal individuals and carrying out executions would not seem to fall within the sphere of responsibility of a chief herdsman.
