Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
DOEG.An Edomite, and chief of the herdmen [or better, runners, reading hâ-râtsîm for hâ-rôîm] of king Saul. When David fled to Nob to Ahimelech (or Ahijah) the priest, Doeg was there detained before the Lord. Upon his report Saul ordered Ahimelech and his companions to be slain. The order was carried out by Doeg, when the rest of the kings guard shrank from obeying it (1Sa_21:7; 1Sa_22:9-19). Doeg is mentioned in the title of Psa_52:1-9.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
An Idumean, chief of Saul's herdsmen. At Nob (1Sa_21:7) "detained before the Lord" by some act of purification or vow, which as a proselyte he was performing, when Ahimelech gave David Goliath's sword and the shewbread. With officious eagerness and talebearing exaggeration (marked in the title of Psalm 52 by the tautology "came and told and said") he gave information which he knew well his master Saul would keenly listen to. Doeg told substantially the fact; it was Saul who put on it the "lying" construction of treason on the part of the priests (compare Psa_52:3-4 with 1Sa_22:13).
"The Edomite" in the title reminds us that herein Doeg represented Edom's and the world's undying enmity to Israel and the godly. He was but the accomplice and ready tool; Saul, the "mighty man" (Psa_52:1) who "trusted in the abundance of his riches" (Psa_52:7) as means of destroying David, was the real" boaster in mischief," for this was the very appeal that Saul made, and that induced Doeg to inform (1Sa_22:7): "Hear now, ye Benjamites, will the son of Jesse (as I can) give every one of you fields and vineyards?" (compare 1Sa_8:14.)
On Doeg's information, and by Doeg's own sacrilegious hand, at Saul's command, when the king's "footmen" declined in reverential awe to kill Jehovah's priests, eighty-five of them fell, and Saul "boasted" (Psa_52:1) of it as a sample of the fate of all who should help David. The undesigned coincidences here noted, between the psalm and independent history, confirm the authenticity of both. The cruel sycophancy of Doeg was so well known to David that he said unto Abiathar, the only survivor of the slaughter, "I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul;" therefore with characteristic sensitiveness of conscience David adds, "I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house."

Do'eg. (fearful). An Idumean, chief of Saul's herdmen. (B.C. 1062). He was at Nob when Ahimelech gave David the sword of Goliath, and not only gave information to Saul, but when others declined the office, himself executed the king's order to destroy the priests of Nob, with their families, to the number of 85 persons, together with all their property. 1Sa_21:7; 1Sa_22:9; 1Sa_22:18; 1Sa_22:22; Psalms 52.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
dō?eg (דּואג, דּאג, dō'-ēgh ?anxious,? ?cared for?): ?The Edomite,? a servant of Saul, who watched David's intercourse with the priest Ahimelech, then denounced the priest to the king, and later executed his command to slay the priests at Nob. The position he held is described as that of ?the mightiest? of Samuel's herdsmen (1Sa_21:7 margin). Septuagint reads: ?tending the mules.? Rabbinical legends speak of him as the greatest scholar of his time. The traditional title of Psa_52:1-9 associates the composition of that Psalms with the events that led to the slaying of the priests (1Sa_21:7; 1Sa_22:9, 1Sa_22:18, 1Sa_22:22).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
PRINTER 1915.
Do?eg, an Edomite, and chief overseer of king Saul's flocks, which is an important trust in Oriental courts. At Nob he was witness of the assistance which the high-priest Ahimelech seemed to afford to the fugitive David, by furishing him with the sword of Goliath, and by supplying him with bread even from the sacred table (1Sa_21:7). Of this he failed not to inform the king, who, regardless of the explanation offered by Ahimelech, and finding that the chiefs censured him, and hesitated to lay their hands upon a person so sacred, commanded Doeg to slay him and his priests?a task which was executed with equal readiness and cruelty by the Edomite (1Sa_22:18, sqq.).
