(Tafsir for 21 is identical to 20 in the user text) And Solomon inspected the state of the birds subjected for him and the state of what was absent from them, and he had a distinguished recognized hoopoe so he did not find him, so he said: "What is for me I do not see the hoopoe which I recognize? has a concealer concealed him from me, or was he of the absent ones from me, so I did not see him due to his absence?" Then when it appeared that he was absent he said: "I will surely punish this hoopoe a severe punishment for his absence as a disciplining for him, or I will surely slaughter him as a retribution for what he performed since he violated by what was subjected for him, or he must surely bring me with a manifest argument, in it is an excuse for his absence."
