1 Samuel 26:12

So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.

KJV

Tulit igitur David hastam, et scyphum aquæ qui erat ad caput Saul, et abierunt : et non erat quisquam qui videret, et intelligeret, et evigilaret, sed omnes dormiebant, quia sopor Domini irruerat super eos.

Vulgate

καὶ ἔλαβεν Δαυεὶδ τὸ δόρυ καὶ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ὕδατος ἀπὸ πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπῆλθον καθ’ ἑαυτούς· καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βλέπων, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ γινώσκων, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐξεγειρόμενος· πάντες ὑπνοῦντες, ὅτι θάμβος Κυρίου ἐπέσεν ἐπ’ αὐτούς.

LXX

So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s head; and they gat them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Jehovah was fallen upon them.
