I Samuel 21:3-8

(3) And David said unto Ahimelech the priest: ‘The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me: Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee; and the young men have I appointed to such and such a place. (4) Now therefore what is under thy hand? five loaves of bread? give them in my hand, or whatsoever there is present.’ (5) And the priest answered David, and said: ‘There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.’ (6) And David answered the priest, and said unto him: ‘Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; when I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then to-day, when there shall be holy bread in their vessels?’ (7) So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.— (8) Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.—

I Samuel 22:18

(18) And the king said to Doeg: ‘Turn thou, and fall upon the priests.’ And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.

Psalms 52:1-11

(1) For the Leader. Maschil of David; (2) when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.' (3) Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually. (4) Thy tongue deviseth destruction; Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. (5) Thou lovest evil more than good; Falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah (6) Thou lovest all devouring words, The deceitful tongue. (7) God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah (8) The righteous also shall see, and fear, And shall laugh at him: (9) 'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.' (10) But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. (11) I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; And I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.

משנה סנהדרין י׳:ב׳

(ב) שלשה מלכים וארבעה הדיוטות אין להם חלק לעולם הבא. שלשה מלכים, ירבעם, אחאב, ומנשה. רבי יהודה אומר, מנשה יש לו חלק לעולם הבא, שנאמר (דברי הימים ב לג, יג) ויתפלל אליו ויעתר לו וישמע תחנתו וישיבהו ירושלם למלכותו. אמרו לו, למלכותו השיבו, ולא לחיי העולם הבא השיבו. ארבעה הדיוטות, בלעם, ודואג, ואחיתפל, וגחזי.

Mishnah Sanhedrin 10:2

(2) Three kings and four commoners have no share in the World to Come. The three kings are: Jeroboam, Ahab, and Manasseh. Rabbi Yehudah says, Manasseh does have a share in the World to Come, as it says (II Chronicles 33:13), "And [Manasseh] prayed unto Him; and He was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom." [The Sages] said to him, to his kingdom He brought him back, but He did not bring him back to life in the World to Come. The four commoners are: Balaam, Doeg, Achitophel, and Gehazi.

B. Sanhedrin 106b: It is written Doeg and it is also written Doyeg. R. Yochanan said: “At first, the Holy Blessed One sat and worried (doeg, "worried") that this one might end up badly. Later, after he ended up badly, God said: “Alas! (Oy! or Voy!, woe!) For this one has turned (up badly).
