Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Samuel 22:9

"Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub." — 1 Samuel 22:9 (ASV)

Then answered Doeg. —“Far better,” Seb Schmid quaintly writes, “did Saul’s other servants who kept silence.” The Edomite’s witness had the more effect on Saul because he related no hearsay evidence, but what he had absolutely seen.
