The Bible does not mention how he dies. Presumably it was from old age.

Why was Doeg called an Edomite?

Doeg was called an Edomite because he belonged to the Edomites, a group of people descended from Esau, the brother of Jacob in the Old Testament. Edomites were considered as a separate ethnic group from the Israelites.


Who was doeg in The Bible?

Doeg HaAdomi (the Edomite) is mentioned in 1 Samuel ch. 21 and 22, and Psalms 52. He was the chief of King Saul's herdsmen. In an act born of jealousy (or of over-zealous loyalty to Saul), he slandered David in front of Saul, and (as a result) caused the death of tens of pious Kohanim (priests). See the attached Related Link for fuller detail.

Did Jewish people believe that the spoken word had activity or power?

God created the Universe through speech, although these were Divine Utterances and not to be understood as human speech. On another tack, we believe that evil speech (gossiping) or shaming someone publicly can be equal to killing them. (See the Biblical story of Doeg the Edomi and how his speech caused the deaths of priests loyal to David.)


What is the origin of man of the cloth?

I just happened to be reading 1 Samuel 22 and in verse 19 it says that Doeg "killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod." (ESV) The context of the passage tells of Saul having the priest slaughtered for helping David so the 85 people are clearly priests. I think it is quite possible that the phrase originates from thinking of the priestly garments.

How did Jews get their surnames?

We find examples of this in the Bible, such as Adino Haetzani, Ira Haya'iri, Doeg Haadomi. These last names are actually adjectives based on place names or personal qualities. There are similar examples in the Talmud, such as Shimon Hapekoli and Shimon Hatimni. Formal last names began at the same time as the general (non-Jewish) population. The people were told by kings' emissaries to choose last names for purposes of record-keeping, taxation and military service. Early last names often began from place-names (Rapaport), personal appearance (Cruikshank), etc.
