Their prophet said to them: .Allah has appointed Talut as a king for you. They said: .How could he have kingship over us when we are more entitled to the kingship than him? He has not been given affluence in wealth. He said: .Allah has chosen him over you and has increased his stature in knowledge and physique, and Allah gives His kingship to whom He wills. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.‘
