forwarded his proposition to Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, that if he were to kill Jaloot, he shall receive the formers daughter in marriage and acquire half of the kings domain; Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام accepted this offer and set off in the direction of Jaloot.

As battle formations were adopted by both sides, Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام confronted Jaloot with a sling in his blessed hands.
