Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Favors which Allah bestowed upon DawudHere Allah tells us how He blessed His servant and Messenger Dawud (David), peace be upon him, and what He gave him of His great bounty, giving him both prophethood and kingship, and huge numbers of troops. And He blessed him with a mighty voice.
