Saul's remorse did not last long and he was soon chasing David again, this time the Ziphites gave him guidance on where to find David.
David had help from Hittites and Abishai went with him to Saul's camp. When they got there Saul and his men were all asleep and Abishai saw this as another opportunity to kill Saul, and Abishai offered to do the job for David. David would not let him, saying that the Lord would get rid of Saul in good time.
Instead David took Saul's spear and water jug. The Lord had put the camp into a deep sleep. David was demonstrating that he had power to kill Saul, but no wish to do so.
David then taunted Abner, the commander of Saul's army.
Saul gets involved, and again acts all contrite and declares a blessing on David.
