When David and Abishai went to the camp of Saul at Ziph, Saul and his men were fast asleep because the Lord allowed a deep sleep to fall on them. This happened when David and Abishai approached the camp of Saul to spy on him. They found Saul and his army sleeping and vulnerable, and David had the opportunity to kill Saul, who was his enemy and had been pursuing him. However, David chose not to harm Saul because he respected him as the anointed king of Israel. Instead, David took Saul's spear and water jug as evidence that he had been in Saul's camp. Later, when Saul woke up and realized what had happened, he was amazed that David had spared his life. The story illustrates David's character and his loyalty to Saul as his king, despite the fact that Saul was trying to kill him.
