Exegesis
The verb bā {בָּא | bā} “came,” the place-name nōwēh {נֹבֶה | nō·wēh} “Nob,” and the preposition ʼel {אֶל־ | ʼel} “to” set the destination, followed by the appositional ben-ʼaḥitūḇ {בֶּן־אֲחִטֽוּב | ben-ʼa·ḥi·ṭūḇ} “son of Ahitub.” The Hebrew sequence emphasizes Doeg’s authoritative testimony and the relational network at Nob.
