There were two times in David’s life when he was forced to escape from Jerusalem into the wilderness. The first was before he was king when Saul became jealous of him and decided to kill him. (1 Samuel 11-21).
The second time this happened was later in his life after having been king for about thirty years. His son, Absalom revolted declaring himself king, forming an army to try to kill him. (2 Samuel 15)
Psalms 42:3-11 My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”…5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God…8 By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life…11 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. NIV
