Doeg was called an Edomite because he belonged to the Edomites, a group of people descended from Esau, the brother of Jacob in the Old Testament. Edomites were considered as a separate ethnic group from the Israelites.

The Bible does not mention how he dies. Presumably it was from old age.

If King Herod was an Edomite by birth where does it tell that?
Some things we are not told in the Bible. Other books have these answers. "The Works of Flavius Josephus" has an excellent section on Herod the Great.
What was king Herod's nationality?
King Herod was born in 73 BCE in Judea. Herod's mother was an ethnic Arab and his father was an Edomite. When Rome made Herod a client king, many Jews resented it. Although Herod was raised as a Jew, his alliance with Rome led many of his Jewish subjects despise him. Many Jews considered Herod an "outsider" and a "half Jew".

Herod the Great was of Idumaean blood. The Idumaeans were of the Edomite stock, the descendants of Esau. However we do not know if Herod was born in Edom or in Israel as John Hyrcanus brought some idumaeans into Palestine about B.C. 130.

Are the Babylon founders descendants of Esau?
The Nations of Esau: Ancient TimesEdomite elements were later to be found amongst colored peoples but on the whole Esau (Edom) is of Caucasian type and proud of it.Esau was also known as Edom. He gave rise to the Edomite Nations. One of the Edomite peoples created a small kingdom to the southeast of Judah. The region known as Edom contained only a small portion of the Edomite people. There were however several Edomite polities and groups of Edomites that merged with other nations often as the military elites and aristocracy.EDOMITES.DUKE MAGDIEL [Genesis 36:43] one of the early leaders of Edom was the real founder of Rome according to tradition.Early Rulers of Edom were to be found in Mesopotamia e.g. Saul of Rehoboth on the River (Genesis 36:31-43).Descendants of Esau settled in Babylon and in some of the Phoenician Cities such as Tyre. Both Babylon and Tyre in Scripture are associated with Edom.According to Don Isaac Abarbanel (1437-1508) a tradition existed that many of the early Christians were Edomites.Additional answer:To be a 'descendant', you have to come AFTER someone...so your question is probably:'Did Esau descend from Babylon's founders?'.Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, Japheth.Nimrod (the founder of Babel (Babylon)) descended from Ham(Genesis 10:6-10)Esau (son of Abraham) descended from Shem (Genesis 11:10-27)If you go far enough back, we're ALL related. We ALL come from the same original two. But Esau is not in Nimrod's specific lineage....they would be distant cousins.
Who wrote the book Obadiah?
In his "MacArthur Study Bible" Dr John MacArthur says "Nothing is known for certain about the author", but that Obadiah was probably a contemporary of Elijah and Elisha, and wrote the Book of Obadiah soon after the Edomite assault on Jerusalem in verses 10-14 between 848-841BC during the reign of Jehoram of Judah.
Who was doeg in The Bible?
Doeg HaAdomi (the Edomite) is mentioned in 1 Samuel ch. 21 and 22, and Psalms 52. He was the chief of King Saul's herdsmen. In an act born of jealousy (or of over-zealous loyalty to Saul), he slandered David in front of Saul, and (as a result) caused the death of tens of pious Kohanim (priests). See the attached Related Link for fuller detail.
Who were the two twins of Isacc and rebekah?
Your are probably referring to Jacob and Esau. They were twins born to Isaac and Rebekah. God chose Jacob to continue the Hebrew (Israel) race and He rejected Esau. Esau became the "father" of the Edomite's. They would be distant cousins of Israel. To read of the fascinating story of Jacob and Esau see Genesis, chapter 27.
