What is happening here?
The Ziphites again tell Saul where David is hiding, and Saul returns with three thousand men. David enters Saul’s camp at night with Abishai and finds Saul sleeping beside his spear. Abishai urges David to kill Saul with one stroke, but David refuses, taking only the spear and water cruse. From a safe distance David rebukes Abner for failing to guard the king and once again demonstrates his innocence to Saul.
