Commentary
They said: The leaders inclined towards war: 'We are people of strength,' meaning, with wealth and men, 'and people of might,' meaning, determination in war, 'strong.' 'And the matter' is referred back [and] entrusted 'to you,' meaning, both of peace and conflict. 'So look,' because there is no dispute with you, 'what do you command?' meaning, with it, for it is heard.
