Why is the question "Erdof..." not introduced with the prefix Hei with Chataf Patach?

1.

Radak: We find like this - "Ki Amar Elokim", "Atah Zeh Beni Esav" (Bereishis 3:1, 27:24).

2.

Malbim: This is not a question. I will chase in any case. He asked only if he will catch them.

2)

We ask only one question from the Urim v'Tumim at a time. Why did David ask two questions?

1.

Radak citing Yuma 73b: If one needs to ask two matters at once because there is not time [to ask twice], one may ask two and both are answered, like we find here.

2.

Malbim: He asked only one (refer to 30:8:1:2).
