DOEG’S JOB

  • Jack M. Sasson Vanderbilt University

Abstract

In this brief study I follow up on a recent JBL article in which SZ Aster discusses and rejects proposed emendations for the title ~y[rh ryba (1 Sam 21:8) applied to the Edomite Doeg, Saul’s instrument in killing the priests of Nob. I offer one more possible explanation of his title via the Mari archives and use that explanation to expand on Doeg’s vita.
