وَدَاوٗدَ وَسُلَیۡمٰنَ اِذۡ یَحۡکُمَانِ فِی الۡحَرۡثِ اِذۡ نَفَشَتۡ فِیۡہِ غَنَمُ الۡقَوۡمِ وَکُنَّا لِحُکۡمِہِمۡ شٰہِدِیۡنَ
یعنی ہمسایہ قوم کے ڈاکوؤں وغیرہ نے ان کے ملک کو نقصان پہنچایا تھا۔ یہاں غَنَمٌ کا لفظ ہے جس کے معنے مفسر بکریاں کرتے ہیں۔ لیکن درحقیقت غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ سے مراد ہمسایہ قوم کے عوام ہیں۔ جو سلیمانؑ اور داؤدؑ کے ملک کے لوگوں کو نقصان پہنچاتے تھے۔ اردو میں بھی قوم کے عوام کو بھیڑ بکری کہتے ہیں۔
In order to add to the beauty of expression, use has been made of metaphorical language in this and the following few verses. Al-Harth may signify Solomon’s country and the words Ghanamul-Qaum may represent those wild and predatory neighbouring tribes who raided Solomon’s country. The reference is to the policy which David and Solomon adopted to repel and defeat the depredations of those savage tribes. David was a great warrior and as such was in favour of adopting a strong policy. Solomon, however, wished to pursue a milder policy and to win over those tribes by entering into treaties of friendship with them.

Commentary:
In order to add to the beauty of expression use has been made of metaphorical language in this and the following few verses. الحرث in this verse may signify Solomon’s country and the words غنم القوم may be taken as standing for those wild and predatory neighbouring tribes who raided Solomon’s country. The reference is to the policy which David and Solomon adopted to repel and defeat the depredations of these savage tribes. David was a great warrior and as such was in favour of adopting a strong policy. Solomon, however, wished to pursue a milder policy and to win over these tribes by entering into treaties of friendship with them. Taken literally the verse would signify that even very ordinary people had ready access and could submit their cases to these great Prophets of God who were very powerful rulers. See also 6:85; 34:11-14 & 38:18-21.
The verse may also signify that when a nation rises to power and prosperity, ambitious persons, in order to win power and influence, seek to weaken the hands of the constituted authority by creating dissensions and discord. The expression غنم القوم i.e. "persons of beastly nature" may refer to such people.
