They worked for him whatsoever he pleased, of lofty halls and statues and basins like cisterns and cauldrons Standing firm. Work ye,
house of Da'ud! with thanksgiving; few of My bondmen are thankful.
Then they vanquished them by the leave of Allah, and Da'ud slew Jalut, and Allah
vouchsafed him dominion, and Wisdom and taught him of that which He Willed. And, it not for Allah's repelling people, some of them by means of others, the earth surely were corrupted; but Allah is Gracious unto the Worlds.
