Kemudian Daud mengambil tombak dan kendi itu dari sebelah kepala Saul, lalu mereka pergi. Tidak ada yang melihatnya, tidak ada yang mengetahuinya, tidak ada yang terbangun, sebab sekaliannya tidur, karena TUHAN membuat mereka tidur nyenyak.
Maka diambil Daud akan pendahan dan kuja itu dari sebelah kepala Saul, lalu pergilah keduanya, maka seorangpun tiada yang melihatnya atau yang mengetahuinya, dan seorangpun tiada yang jaga, maka tertidurlah sekaliannya, karena tidur yang lelap dari pada pihak Tuhan sudah berlaku atas mereka itu sekalian.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So David took the spear, and the cruse of water, from Saul's bolster,.... Abishai either refusing to take them, since he might not take away his life; or it may be rather David thought better of it, and took them himself, lest Abishai should be tempted, when so near to Saul, and his spear in his hand, and should thrust him with it; though David may be said to take them by the hands of Abishai:
and they gat them away; with the above things along with them:
and no man saw [it], nor knew [it]; saw them in the camp, or knew what they did:
neither awaked; at their talking together, at the motion of their feet, and taking away the spear and cruse:
for they [were] all asleep; which was very extraordinary, that among three thousand men none should be awake, not even the sentinels; which might seem impossible in a natural way, but it is accounted for by what follows:
because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them; or "a sleep of the Lord" p; a very great one, an uncommon one; so great trees, mountains, c. are called trees and mountains of God or, according to our supplement, it was from the Lord, he was the cause and author of it; he cast them into this sleep, or caused it to fall upon them, and locked them up in it, that they might not hear David and his servant when they came among them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 26:12. David took the spear and the cruse — The spear, we have already seen, was the emblem of power and regal dignity. But it is usual, in Arab camps, for every man to have his lance stuck in the ground beside him, that he may be ready for action in a moment. The cruse of water resembled, in some measure, the canteens of our soldiers. In such a climate, where water was always scarce, it was necessary for each man to carry a little with him, to refresh him on his march.
A deep sleep from the Lord — It is the same word which is used, Genesis 2:21, to describe the sleep which God caused to fall upon Adam, when he formed Eve out of his side.
