Inquire the way of the Load

I Samuel 23:1-29
The Philistine fighting against Keilah and are looting the threshing floors, David received this information, he inquired of the Load. The Load twice answered him " Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah." For David and his men were afraid in Judah.
Keilah is a town with gates and bar, Saul called up all his forces for battle, to go to Keilah to besiege David and his  men. David asked the Load the way for next step, David listened to the Load and escaped fro Keilah, Saul then did not go there.
David stayed in the desert strongholds and in the hills of the Desert of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God did not give David into his hand.
Jonathan met David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.
The Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah and like to help Saul handing David to him. When Saul and his forces were closing in on David and his men to capture them, a messenger came to saying
 The philistines are raiding the land, so Saul broke off his pursuit of David.
Why?
All of these day David and his men are escaped Saul, but the Load did not hand him into Saul.
David asked the way to the Load for every decision. The Load is with David.
After fighting against Keilah , men with Daivid was increase for  400 to 600.
The encouragement of a friend in such a situation is comfort indeed. Jonathan acknowledges David's title to be king, humbly accepting a lesser role for himself.
How?
Inquire of the Load is needed, to know the correct way and do it.
