9, 10. Humanity Was Extinguished From Saul—Doeg knew well that the action of the priest toward David did not proceed from any malice toward the king. The priest thought that in doing a kindness to an ambassador of his court, he was showing respect to the king. He was altogether innocent of any evil intention toward Saul or his realm. David had not taken a straightforward course before the priest, he had dissimulated, and on this account he had brought the whole family of the priesthood into peril. {2BC 1019.7}

9. 10. Fra Saul, dør menneskeheden ud. - Doeg vidste godt at præstens behandling af David ikke udsprang af ondsind mod kongen. Præsten tænkte at gjorde han en venlig handling (1020) mod en ambassadør i hans sal, viste han respekt mod kongen. Han var i det hele taget uskyldig for nogen onde hensigter mod Saul eller hans rige. David var ikke gået direkte til præsten, han havde skjult sig, og derfor havde han bragt hele præstestanden i fare.
