This study scrutinizes the elements of his characterization in 1 Sam. 25 and considers his abuses of the &#171;son of Jesse&#187;, the contextual role of the geographic setting and political environment during King Saul&#8217;s reign. Similarly, this volume studies the function of the character of Doeg the Edomite in 1 Sam. 21 and 22 regarding his Edomite origin, his particular business in Nob and his official status in Saul&#8217;s court.<br \/><br \/><br \/>The phrase the &#171;son of Jesse&#187; is quite important in 1 Samuel and serves a particular purpose in the thematic development in the second half of the book. Viewed against the background of the Saul\/David relationship, it underscores the superiority of the Davidic person in advancing the divine plan for the nation of Israel.<br \/><br \/><br \/>The determination of the book&#8217;s historical context is the key to understanding the multilayered messages. The roles of history and ideology in making these stories are also considered with the proposal that the making of the book(s) of Samuel after the Exile (5th c. B.C.) might have been instigated by the writer&#8217;s desire to create the context needed for further development of the messianic ideas.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c05e6c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4c05e6c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3385ee elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a3385ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.
