أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰٓإِذْ قَالُوا۟ لِنَبِىٍّ لَّهُمُ ٱبْعَثْ لَنَا مَلِكًا نُّقَٰتِلْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ قَالَ هَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقِتَالُ أَلَّا تُقَٰتِلُوا۟ قَالُوا۟ وَمَا لَنَآ أَلَّا نُقَٰتِلَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِوَقَدْ أُخْرِجْنَا مِن دِيَٰرِنَا وَأَبْنَآئِنَا فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقِتَالُ تَوَلَّوْا۟ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنْهُمْ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 246
246. Bethink thee of the leaders of
the Children of Israel after Moses, how they said unto a Prophet whom they
had: Set up for us a king and we will fight in Allah’s Way. He said: Would ye
then refrain from fighting if fighting were prescribed for you? They said:
Why should we not fight in Allah’s Way when we have been driven from our
dwellings with our children? Yet, when fighting was prescribed for them, they
turned away, all save a few of them. And Allah is Aware of evildoers.

Commentary
It has been pointed
also in this verse towards an important story of the history of the children of
Israel . After some times of
departing Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him), the Children of Israel gathered in
the temple of Jerusalem being confused from the attacks of King Goliath and
other enemies, and being helpless from each side. Perhaps this reign was of the
Prophet Samuel (peace be upon him). They requested the Prophet of God Almighty
(peace be upon him) to appoint for them a commander-in-chief, under whose
supervision; they may fight. He (Prophet Samuel (peace be upon him) said, “I’m
afraid that if it is commanded to Fight (do jihad), then would you
not refrain from fighting”? They assured that they would have to fight in the
Way of Allah, while they had been driven from their dwellings with their
children. But when the time for fighting came, they all turned away save a few
of them.
