Did not

you see

[towards]

the chiefs

of

(the) Children

(of) Israel

from

after

Musa

when

they said

to a Prophet

of theirs

Appoint

for us

a king

we may fight

in

(the) way

(of) Allah

He said

Would

you perhaps

if

prescribed

upon you

[the] fighting

that not

you fight

They said

And what

for us

that not

we fight

in

(the) way

(of) Allah

while surely

we have been driven

from

our homes

and our children

Yet, when

was prescribed

upon them

the fighting

they turned away

except

a few

among them

And Allah

(is) All-Knowing

of the wrongdoers

And said

to them

their Prophet

Indeed

Allah

(has) surely

raised

for you

Talut

(as) a king

They said

How

can be

for him

the kingship

over us

while we

(are) more entitled

to kingship

than him

and not

he has been given

abundance

of

[the] wealth

He said

Indeed

Allah

has chosen him

over you

and increased him

abundantly

in

[the] knowledge

and [the] physique

And Allah

gives

His kingdom

(to) whom

He wills

And Allah

(is) All-Encompassing

All-Knowing

And said

to them

their Prophet

Indeed

a sign

(of) his kingship

(is) that

will come to you

the ark

in it

(is) tranquility

from

your Lord

and a remnant

of what

(was) left

(by the) family

(of) Musa

and family

(of) Harun

will carry it

the Angels

Indeed

in

that

(is) surely a sign

for you

if

you are

believers
