Lot in the Middle

Lot’s decision to take advantage of Abram’s brotherly kindness begins to have immediate ramifications. In what is the first recorded account of combat in the Bible and the only recorded instance of warfare that involved Abram, the fourteenth chapter opens with a battle of nine armies. ​This passage reads more like a history book and it’s helpful to come at it as such by making a series of observations. Abram readies himself and his men to rescue one of his own. In the attempt to redeem Lot and his household, Abram successfully routes this foreign invasion. God was clearly on his side, how is that true for us?
