2:246 @Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after]the time of[ Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs,"Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allah "? He said, "Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if fighting was prescribed for you?" They said, "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?" But when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers. 2:247 @And their prophet saidto them, "Indeed, Allahhas sent to you Saul asa king." They said,"How can he have kingship over us whilewe are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said,"Indeed, Allah has chosen him over you and has increased himabundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. AndAllah is all-Encompassing ]in favor[ and Knowing." 2:248 @And their prophet saidto them, "Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is assurance from yourLord and a remnant ofwhat the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a signfor you, if you are believers." 2:249 @And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said,"Indeed, Allah will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not ofme, and whoever doesnot taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes ]from it[ in the hollow of his hand." But they drank from it, except a]very[ few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said,"There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers." But those who were certain thatthey would meet Allahsaid, "How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allah . And Allah is with the patient." 2:250 @And when they went forth to ]face[ Goliath and his soldiers, they said, "Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people." 2:251 @So they defeated themby permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gavehim the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allah checking ]some[ people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is full of bounty to the worlds. 2:252 @These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you, ]O Muhammad[, in truth. And indeed, you are from among the messengers.
