1 Samuel 26

"So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul’s head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew it or awoke. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen on them." v.12

Read chapter 26

Frozen in time.  That's what it seemed like God made happen.  Like those scenes in movies where everyone else is frozen but one person who goes around and does stuff and then once everyone is unfrozen everyone continues as if it was in the blink of an eye.  Well Saul's army wasn't frozen in time but under a deep sleep that they could not be awoken from so that David and Abishai would not be killed as they enter the camp of the army seeking to kill David.  How easily can God weaken the strongest, befool the wisest, and baffle the most watchful! David still waited to have any revenge on Saul as he was still God's anointed and knew God would revenge. He was not looking to force his way to the promised crown by any wrong methods. The temptation I'm sure was very strong, but  trusted God with the event.
