You should have nothing to fear from your family and friends, but to know your enemies, where they are and what they are capable of is by far better then being surprised in the dark...You don't have to be friends with the enemy to know their capablities.
This means that you should just watch out for your enemies. Not that you should hang out with them and pretend to be friends.
Keep your friends close and enemies closer means to keep your friends close to you but keep your enemies closer because you have to keep an eye on them. That's just what i think

The phrase "sleeping with the enemy" shares the same meaning as "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer". This phrase means to keep your enemies as close as possible.
The old saying of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" sounds about right.
Keeping close to your Enemy Means: You need to do everything to keep tabs on your enemy so you would know where they are at. So if they do try to attack you then you have been prepared and can hopefully even turn it to your favor.
