The Quran clearly shows Muhammad's ignorance of the Bible in many places. In Surah 2:246-251 Muhammad uses the story of David's victory over Goliath to encourage his followers to go to war. The devil is in the details however when we read that Saul's (Talut) troops in Surah 2:249 were put to the test by Allah by how they drank water from a river. This is a misplaced Bible story stolen from the life of Gideon in the Book of Judges chapter 7:4-7 which is totally out of the contextual time frame of Saul's life. Secondly the Quran version tells of Saul fighting along side David against Goliath when in fact the Bible portrays Saul as more of a coward who sends the young lad David out on his own to fight Goliath. (1 Samuel 17:38)
