21:79

فَفَهَّمْنَٰهَا سُلَيْمَٰنَ وَكُلًّا ءَاتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُۥدَ ٱلْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَٱلطَّيْرَ وَكُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole form II perfect is causative: God makes Solomon understand the matter under judgment, while both Solomon and David receive judgment and knowledge. The target is the stem segment, so attached participants remain compositional outside its rendering.
