فهزموهم باذن الله وقتل داوود جالوت واتاه الله الملك والحكمة وعلمه مما يشاء ولولا دفع الله الناس بعضهم ببعض لفسدت الارض ولكن الله ذو فضل على العالمين

By God's will, They routed them; And David slew Goliath; And God gave him Power and wisdom And taught him Whatever (else) He willed, And did not God Check one set of people By means of another, The earth would indeed Be full of mischief: But God is full of bounty To all the worlds.
