1 Nephi 8 – 10
It sounds like they stayed in one place for a time gathering seeds for the next phase of their journey after they brought Ishmael out of Jerusalem.
I notice that Lehi received the invitation to follow before he did any seeking himself and before spending hours in darkness but that he did not receive a view of the tree until after he prayed. I think Nephi understood the significance of that and recognized the call of his father as the initial invitation, but chose himself to pray for a vision of the tree.
Many people were actively seeking the foundationless building of worldly pride and many of those perished or otherwise wondered off without ever reaching their goal.
