Strong's Lexicon Doeg: Doeg Original Word: דֹּאֵג Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Do'eg Pronunciation: doh-AYG Phonetic Spelling: (do-ayg') Definition: Doeg Meaning: Doeg, a proper noun, is a personal name meaning "anxious" or "fearful." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root דָּאַג (da'ag), meaning "to be anxious" or "to fear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Doeg, as he is a specific historical figure mentioned in the Old Testament without a direct New Testament counterpart. Usage: Doeg is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to an Edomite who served as the chief herdsman for King Saul. Context: Doeg the Edomite is a significant figure in the narrative of 1 Samuel. He is introduced in 1 Samuel 21:7, where he is described as being "detained before the LORD" at Nob, the city of priests. Doeg's most notable action occurs in 1 Samuel 22. After witnessing David's interaction with Ahimelech the priest, Doeg reports this to King Saul, accusing Ahimelech of aiding David. Saul, in his wrath, orders the death of the priests of Nob. When Saul's guards refuse to carry out the execution, Doeg complies and kills eighty-five priests, as well as the inhabitants of Nob, including men, women, children, and livestock (1 Samuel 22:18-19). This act of violence highlights Doeg's role as a loyal, yet ruthless servant of Saul, and it underscores the tragic consequences of Saul's paranoia and disobedience to God. Doeg's actions are remembered as a grave atrocity, and his character serves as a cautionary example of the dangers of blind allegiance and the misuse of power.
