وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍۭ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَا فَتِلْكَ مَسَٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَن مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ
Why this meaning was chosen
The accusative noun in 8:47 describes the army's arrogant manner of going out alongside public display. Form I in 28:58 predicates the same corrupt response to abundant livelihood of a settlement later destroyed. One occurrence foregrounds military confidence and the other prosperous ease, but both turn advantage into insolence.
