18:79

أَمَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَٰكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَآءَهُم مَّلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصْبًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed the sole frozen occurrence on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target row. Quran 18:79 identifies the ship as belonging to poor people who work at sea and explains its damage by a king behind them who takes every sound ship غصبًا. The contrast between owners and royal taking establishes coercive dispossession.
