Who's Never Absent

There is something missing in this entire passage. David’s fled, or trying to flee the Presence of Saul, but where is he to go? What’s he supposed to do? All the author does right now is show us what he’s doing. But something is missing. One of my commentators brings up, “On various occasions, reference is made to David’s enquiring of the Lord with respect to where he should go and what he should do (e.g. 23:2, 4; 30:8; 2 Sam. 2:1; 5:19, 23). No such reference is recorded in the present chapter. What will come of all this?” (Philipps V. Long, TOTC, 1 and 2 Samuel)
