We have here David arraigning Doeg the Edomite for the murder of the priests, and pointing to God's justice, which must follow. David takes comfort, under such persecutions of the wicked, in the goodness of God.
To the chief musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.
It should seem that this descendant of Esau, like one of that stock, delighting in persecuting the children of promise, vaunted himself is what he had done in causing the priests to be slain, and when none else could be found who would embrue their hands in the blood of God's priests, he became the murderer as well as the accuser of them. See the story as related at large, 1 Samuel 22:1. What a sad state was Saul in, to take an enemy to God into his service, and advance an Edomite over Israel!
