Their Prophet then proclaimed,

“The sign of the blessings of Talut’s kingship over you is that Allah will give you back the Tabut wooden box that has been taken from you.” Surat Al–Baqarah – verse  20 

The angels came down while carrying the Tabut between the sky and the earth, until they placed it before Talut(A.S) while the people were watching. Then when Talut (A.S) set out with the army, he said:

“Verily, Allah will try you by a river. So whoever drinks thereof, he is not of me; and whoever tastes it not, he is of me, except him who takes (thereof) in the hollow of his hand.‘ al-Baqarah 2:249

Talut (A.S), marched forth with his soldiers and the Israelites who obeyed him. His army was of eighty thousand. When thy reached on the river they all drank thereof,  except a few of them. But Whoever took some of it the river’s water in the hollow of his hand, quenched his thirst; as for those who drank freely from it, their thirst was not quenched.

Israelites who remained with king thought that they were few in the face of their enemy who were many then. So, their knowledgeable scholars strengthened their resolve by stating that Allah’s promise is true and that triumph comes from Allah Alone, not from the large numbers or the adequacy of the supplies. When the faithful party, who were few under the command of Talut, faced their enemy, who were many under the command of Jalut. They prayed:

“Our Lord! Pour forth on us patience and send down patience on us from You. And set firm our feet against the enemy and save us from running away and from feebleness.” And make us victorious over the disbelieving people. Allah said:

“They defeated and overwhelmed them by Allah’s aid and support. Then and Dawud Eliminated Jalut.” Talut promised that whoever Eliminated Jalut, would marry his daughter and would share his kingship and authority. He kept his promise. Later, the kingship was transferred to Prophet Dawud in addition to being granted Prophethood by Allah.
