246. (O Beloved Prophet) Did you not observe the group of the children of Israel after Musa?(610) When they spoke to a Prophet of theirs: "Appoint for us a king (611) so that we may fight in the path of Allah". He (the Prophet) said: "Maybe if the fighting were obligatory on you, you would not fight" (612). They said: "What has happened to us that we should not fight in the way of Allah, whereas we have been expelled from our homes and our children"(613). But, when fighting was made obligatory on them (614), they turned their faces away, except a few (615)of them. And Allah is All Knowing of the unjust.
