لَهُم نَبِيُّهُم إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَد بَعَثَ لَكُم طالوتَ مَلِكًا ۚ قالوا أَنّىٰ
يَكونُ لَهُ المُلكُ عَلَينا وَنَحنُ أَحَقُّ بِالمُلكِ مِنهُ وَلَم يُؤتَ
سَعَةً مِنَ المالِ ۚ 247a. |

247a. Their prophet said to them, “God has appointed Saul
to be your king.” They said, “How can he have authority over us, when we are
more worthy of authority than he, and he was not given plenty of wealth?” |
Taaluuta – (Saul son of Kash), after Prophet Moses, Saul (علیہ السلام) (L-314) has been recognized as very great and first king of the children of Israel. His reign is told from 1028 BC to 1012 BC. He (علیہ السلام) belonged to Bin-Yaamiin Tribe, which had a customary grade. Any king was never chosen out of that dynasty. Neither they were so much wealthy and nor rich.
Evil-minded Jews criticized this (Saul’s) appointment as king that he (Peace be upon him) had not been given enough wealth. He was a poor person. How could a poor person be a king for us (the rich people)? They thought that sovereignty and leadership was the inborn right of the rich-men.
It does not rest on the Jews only. The materialist nations made always these types of wrong principles, and they deemed the government as bondwoman of the house of rich people. While this concept is infinite foolish and un-justly, so God declared clearly this wrong concept of the Jews in His last Scripture for warning of coming breeds, so that nobody may remain in misunderstanding in future, and no nation should suppose the wealth and riches as standard of leadership and exaltation.
After it, if any nation or group considers the riches as cause of superiority, even then, that nation or group would have to face the same punishment which the Jews already bore, because the Law of the Nature is not changed.
