Answer: 1 Samuel

David was offered Saul's armor for protection but he declined the offer. The battle between David and Goliath was also described briefly in the Qur'an.

So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith.
