Verse 9

Then answered Doeg the Edomite ,.... Josephus F4 Antiqu. l. 6. c. 12. sect. 1, 4. calls him a Syrian, and so the Septuagint version; see 1 Samuel 21:7 ; being full of enmity to David, and willing to curry favour with Saul, and eager of further preferment, which Saul seemed to promise; and being more forward than the rest of his servants, prevented them and spoke first:

(which was set over the servants of Saul) : over his herdsmen; see 1 Samuel 21:7 ,

and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub ; in imitation of Saul, he calls David by way of contempt the son of Jesse; and signifies that what he had to say of him was not by report, but he himself was an eyewitness of his coming to Nob, a city of the priests, and to Ahimelech the high priest there, and of what passed between them.
