17, 18. Cruelty of Saul and Doeg—Saul’s rage was not appeased by the noble stand of his footmen, and he turned to the man whom he had connected with himself as a friend, because he had reported against the priests. Thus this Edomite, who was as base a character as was Barabbas, slew with his own hand eighty-five priests of the Lord in one day; and he and Saul, and he who was a murderer from the beginning, gloried over the massacre of the servants of the Lord. Like savage beasts who have tasted of blood, so were Saul and Doeg (The Signs of the Times, September 21, 1888).{2BC 1020.4}

17. 18. Sauls og Doegs grusomhed. - Sauls raseri blev ikke stilnet med hans foldfolks ædle standpunkt, og han vendte sig mod mænd som han havde knyttet sig selv til som en ven, fordi han havde rapporteret imod præsterne. Således ihjelslog denne edomit, som havde en ligeså nedrig karakter som Barabbas, femogfirs af Herrens Præster på en dag, med sin egen hånd; og han og Saul som var en morder fra begyndelsen, frydede sig over denne massakre over Herrens tjenere. Ligesom vilde dyr, som har smagt blod, sådan var Saul og Doeg (ST 21. sept., 1888).
