The Prophets · Makkah · Juz 17 · Mushaf page 328 of 604

وَعَلَّمۡنَٰهُ صَنۡعَةَ لَبُوسٖ لَّكُمۡ لِتُحۡصِنَكُم مِّنۢ بَأۡسِكُمۡۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُمۡ شَٰكِرُونَ ٨٠

English translation (Saheeh International)

And We taught him the fashioning of coats of armor to protect you from your [enemy in] battle. So will you then be grateful?

Brief commentary

I exclusively taught David, and not Solomon, the skill of crafting armour, so that you could protect yourselves from anyone who tried to attack you with weapons. O people! Will you then show gratitude for this blessing that I bestowed upon you?
