So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they got them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh was fallen on them.

In all this the wisdom of the Lord is apparent the failure of man unquestionably, but the grace of God triumphant everywhere.
