In the Quran

فَهَزَمُوهُم بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُۥدُ جَالُوتَ وَءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُلْكَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَهُۥ مِمَّا يَشَآءُ ۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍۢ لَّفَسَدَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

تو طالوت کی فوج نے خدا کے حکم سے ان کو ہزیمت دی۔ اور داؤد نے جالوت کو قتل کر ڈالا۔ اور خدا نے اس کو بادشاہی اور دانائی بخشی اور جو کچھ چاہا سکھایا۔ اور خدا لوگوں کو ایک دوسرے (پر چڑھائی اور حملہ کرنے) سے ہٹاتا نہ رہتا تو ملک تباہ ہوجاتا لیکن خدا اہل عالم پر بڑا مہربان ہے

So they routed them by Allah's leave and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of that which He willeth. And if Allah had not repelled some men by others the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah is a Lord of Kindness to (His) creatures.
