Al-Baqarah 2:247

Word by word

وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ لَكُمْ طَالُوتَ مَلِكًا ۚ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِٱلْمُلْكِ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ سَعَةً مِّنَ ٱلْمَالِ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَزَادَهُۥ بَسْطَةً فِى ٱلْعِلْمِ وَٱلْجِسْمِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يُؤْتِى مُلْكَهُۥ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allāh has sent to you Saul as a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allāh has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allāh gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing [in favor] and Knowing."

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

وقال لهم نبيهم: إن الله قد أرسل إليكم طالوت مَلِكًا إجابة لطلبكم، يقودكم لقتال عدوكم كما طلبتم. قال كبراء بني إسرائيل: كيف يكون طالوت مَلِكًا علينا، وهو لا يستحق ذلك؟ لأنه ليس من سبط الملوك، ولا من بيت النبوة، ولم يُعْط كثرة في الأموال يستعين بها في ملكه، فنحن أحق بالملك منه; لأننا من سبط الملوك ومن بيت النبوة. قال لهم نبيهم: إن الله اختاره عليكم وهو سبحانه أعلم بأمور عباده، وزاده سَعَة في العلم وقوة في الجسم ليجاهد العدو. والله مالك الملك يعطي ملكه مَن يشاء من عباده، والله واسع الفضل والعطاء، عليم بحقائق الأمور، لا يخفى عليه شيء.
