Be patient in the face of their utterances, and remember our servant David, the resourceful; he was obedient.

We committed the mountains in his service, glorifying with him night and day.

Also the birds were committed to serve him; all were obedient to him.

We strengthened his kingship, and endowed him with wisdom and good logic.

Have you received news of the feuding men who sneaked into his sanctuary?

When they entered his room, he was startled. They said, "Have no fear. We are feuding with one another, and we are seeking your fair judgment. Do not wrong us, and guide us in the right path.

"This brother of mine owns ninety-nine^* sheep, while I own one sheep. He wants to mix my sheep with his, and continues to pressure me."

*38:23 This is the only place where the number 99 occurs. Thirty different numbers are mentioned in the Quran, and their total comes to 162146, 19x8534. See Appendix 1.

David's Exemplary Piety

He said, "He is being unfair to you by asking to combine your sheep with his. Most people who combine their properties treat each other unfairly, except those who believe and work righteousness, and these are so few." Afterwards, David wondered if he made the right judgment. He thought that we were testing him. He then implored his Lord for forgiveness, bowed down, and repented.^*

*38:24 In this clear example, 99 on one side vs 1 on the other side, David's extreme care to render the correct judgment caused him to ask forgiveness. Are we this careful?

We forgave him in this matter. We have granted him a position of honor with us, and a beautiful abode.

O David, we have made you a ruler on earth. Therefore, you shall judge among the people equitably, and do not follow your personal opinion, lest it diverts you from the way of GOD. Surely, those who stray off the way of GOD incur severe retribution for forgetting the Day of Reckoning.

We did not create the heaven and the earth, and everything between them, in vain. Such is the thinking of those who disbelieve. Therefore, woe to those who disbelieve; they will suffer in Hell.

Shall we treat those who believe and lead a righteous life as we treat those who commit evil on earth? Shall we treat the righteous as we treat the wicked?

This is a scripture that we sent down to you, that is sacred—perhaps they reflect on its verses. Those who possess intelligence will take heed.

Solomon's Exemplary Devotion

To David we granted Solomon; a good and obedient servant.
