So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw [it], nor knew [it], neither awaked: for they [were] all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 26:12

Theological / Devotional

A deep sleep. What an encouragement it must have been for David to realize the protection of the Most High as he and Abishai carefully threaded their way through the ranks of Saul’s forces! The miracle that enabled these men to move back and forth through the lines of 3,000 men, to the very center of the group, without detection, was evidence as to which side of the controversy Providence was on. The intervention was a condemnation of Saul’s changeable nature in pledging himself to one thing, and a short time later violating his word and doing exactly the opposite.
