اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَی الْمَلَاِ مِنْ بَنٖیٓ اِسْرآٰئٖیلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مُوسٰٓی اِذْ قاٰلُوا لِنَبِیٍّ لَهُمُ ابْعَثْ لَناٰ مَلِكًا نُقاٰتِلْ فٖی سَبٖیلِ اللّٰهِۖ قاٰلَ هَلْ عَسَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُتِبَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْقِتاٰلُ اَلّاٰ تُقاٰتِلُواۖ قاٰلُوا وَماٰ لَنآٰ اَلّاٰ نُقاٰتِلَ فٖی سَبٖیلِ اللّٰهِ وَقَدْ اُخْرِجْناٰ مِنْ دِیاٰرِناٰ وَاَبْنآٰئِناٰۖ فَلَمّاٰ كُتِبَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقِتاٰلُ تَوَلَّوْا اِلّاٰ قَلٖیلًا مِنْهُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٖیمٌ بِالظّاٰلِمٖینَ۝٢٤٦۝وَقاٰلَ لَهُمْ نَبِیُّهُمْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ لَكُمْ طاٰلُوتَ مَلِكًاۚ قاٰلُوٓا اَنّٰی یَكُونُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ عَلَیْناٰ وَنَحْنُ اَحَقُّ بِالْمُلْكِ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ یُؤْتَ سَعَةً مِنَ الْماٰلِۚ قاٰلَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصْطَفٰىهُ عَلَیْكُمْ وَزاٰدَهُۥ بَسْطَةً فِی الْعِلْمِ وَالْجِسْمِۖ وَاللّٰهُ یُؤْتٖی مُلْكَهُۥ مَنْ یَشآٰءُۚ وَاللّٰهُ واٰسِعٌ عَلٖیمٌ۝٢٤٧۝وَقاٰلَ لَهُمْ نَبِیُّهُمْ اِنَّ ءاٰیَةَ مُلْكِهٖٓ اَنْ یَأْتِیَكُمُ التّاٰبُوتُ فٖیهِ سَكٖینَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَبَقِیَّةٌ مِمّاٰ تَرَكَ ءاٰلُ مُوسٰی وَءاٰلُ هاٰرُونَ تَحْمِلُهُ الْمَلآٰئِكَةُۚ اِنَّ فٖی ذٰلِكَ لَءاٰیَةً لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنٖینَ۝٢٤٨۝

Have you not regarded the elite of the Israelites after Moses, when they said to their prophet, ‘Appoint for us a king that we may fight in the way of Allah.’ He said, ‘May it not be that you will not fight if fighting were prescribed for you?’ They said, ‘Why should we not fight in the way of Allah, when we have been expelled from our homes and [separated from] our children?’ So when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned back except a few of them, and Allah knows well the wrongdoers. ﴾246﴿Their prophet said to them, ‘Allah has appointed Saul as king for you.’ They said, ‘How can he have kingship over us, when we have a greater right to kingship than him, as he has not been given ample wealth?’ He said, ‘Indeed Allah has chosen him over you, and enhanced him vastly in knowledge and physique, and Allah gives His kingdom to whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-bounteous, all-knowing.’ ﴾247﴿Their prophet said to them, ‘Indeed the sign of his kingship shall be that the Ark will come to you, bearing tranquillity from your Lord and the relics left behind by the House of Moses and the House of Aaron, borne by the angels. There is indeed a sign in that for you, should you be faithful.’ ﴾248﴿
