1 SAMUEL 22:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.”
Then the king said to Doeg, You turn and fall upon the priests — Saul's *va'yomer hamelekh le'Doeg atah sup u'pagoa ba'kohanim* directs the command to Doeg, the Edomite. The fact that Doeg alone is willing to execute the priests suggests his foreign origin makes him indifferent to the sanctity that restrains Israelite soldiers.
