And fight in the cause of God and know that indeed God is All Hearing, All Knowing.

Whoever lends God a loan of righteousness; He then multiplies it for him many times over. And God reduces and increases, and to Him you will be returned.

Do you not know that a group of the Children of Israel after Moses, who told their prophet appoint a king for us, we will then fight in the cause of God . He said, is it your intention that when fighting is decreed for you, you will not fight? They said, and why should we not fight in the cause of God , when we and our children are being driven from our homes? However, once fighting was decreed for them, they refused, except a few of them. And God knows all about the transgressors.

And their prophet told them; indeed God has appointed Saul as a king for you. They said, what makes him so deserving of kingship over us while we are more deserving of kingship, furthermore, he does not have much wealth? He said, God has certainly chosen him over you and has given him plenty of knowledge and stature. Moreover, God gives His kingship to whomever He wills. And God is Expander, All Knowing.

And their prophet said to them, certainly the sign of his kingship is the appearance of the box wherein is reassurance from your Lord and the relics that the people of Moses and the people of Aaron left behind, it will be carried by the angels. Surely, in this there is a proof for you if you are faithful.

Afterwards, Saul took charge of the troops and said, God is surely testing you with a stream, therefore, whoever drinks therefrom is not with me, and the one who does not drink from it is with me, unless he drinks only a handful. Then they drank from it except a few of them. Thereafter, when he and those who believed with him crossed it, they said, we cannot endure Goliath and his army today. Those who knew that for sure they were going to meet God , said, many small armies can defeat a large army by God ’s leave. And God is with those who steadfastly persevere.

Once they came face to face with Goliath and his troops, they said, our Lord, grant us perseverance and strengthen our foothold and help us against the disbelieving people.

They then defeated them by God ’s leave and David killed Goliath, and God gave him wisdom and knowledge and what he wished for. And if it were not for God defending some people against others, surely corruption would have spread throughout the earth, however, God is Possessor of Bounty for all people.

These are God ’s proofs that We recite to you truthfully, and indeed you are one of the messengers.

These are the messengers, We preferred some over others, amongst them is the one whom God spoke to, and He raised some of them in rank. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, the proofs and helped him with the Holy Spirit. And had God willed those who came after them would have not fought after the proofs came to them, however, they disputed, therefore some of them believed while some others disbelieved. Moreover, had God willed they would not have fought, but God does what He wills.
