1 SAMUEL 26:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.”
Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; Saul was lying inside the encampment, with the army encamped around him — the layout of Saul's camp is described with strategic clarity: Saul sleeping within a protective circle of soldiers ('beqereb hammaḥāneh'). Yet this defense proves illusory.
