Datanglah Daud dengan Abisai kepada rakyat itu pada waktu malam, dan tampaklah di sana Saul berbaring tidur di tengah-tengah perkemahan, dengan tombaknya terpancung di tanah pada sebelah kepalanya, sedang Abner dan rakyat itu berbaring sekelilingnya.
Maka datanglah Daud dan Abisai kepada segala rakyat itu pada malam, maka sesungguhnya Saul berbaring tidur dalam kota rata dan pendahannya terpucuk dalam tanah pada sebelah kepalanya, dan Abner dan segala rakyatpun berbaring tidur kelilingnya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So David and Abishai came to the people by night,.... Josephus l wrongly says, that he took with him both Abishai and Ahimelech; he chose to have but one, for the greater secrecy. This was a bold enterprise, for two men to go into a camp of three thousand men, though it was in the night; when though they might suppose the greater part of them were asleep, yet they could not well suppose this of all, and especially of the guards or sentinels; but no doubt David was moved to this, not merely by the dint of his natural courage, but by the Spirit of God, by whom he might be assured of protection, and that Saul and the people were cast into a deep sleep by the Lord, as they were, 1 Samuel 26:12; and this the Lord moved him to, that he might have an opportunity a second time to convince Saul of his innocence, and that he had no design upon his life:
and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench;
1 Samuel 26:12- :;
and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster; ready to take up and defend himself, should he be surprised; or this was his sceptre, which he always carried about with him, as an ensign of royalty, and by which very probably David knew which was Saul's tent or couch, where he slept:
but Abner and the people lay round about him; as in 1 Samuel 26:5.
