Genesis14

I’m adding this just to show Abram could be one to avoid a fight with.


[10] And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of
Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained
fled to the mountain.
[11] And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all
their victuals, and went their way.
[12] And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom,
and his goods, and departed.
[13] And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the
Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of
Eschol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
[14] And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he
armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and
eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
[Abram it seems had quite an army to have been a sort of preacher.]

[15] And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by
night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the
left hand of Damascus.
[16] And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his
brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
[Now it said before that Lot was Abram’s brother’s son. Here it says
Lot was Abram’s brother.]

[17] And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from
the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at
the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
[18] And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and
he was the priest of the most high God.
[Ah, wine – and how many times have I heard it was wrong to drink?
One thing a lot of people don’t realize is, fermenting was the only way
to keep juice in those days. Too, there were some juices that would
ferment on their own without any help. Do your homework.]

[19] And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high
God, possessor of heaven and earth:
[20] And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine
enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
[And even after Abram lied. Imagin that.]
