During a rebellion all of the food supplies of Sodom and Gomorrah were seized and the victors took them for their own. Along with their prizes they captured Lot and all that he owned. A fugitive got word back to Abram who gathered up an army and rescued his nephew. After he was victorious bringing back Lot and his possesions plus other captives he was greeted by some of the kings (verses 17 and 18).
Because of his victory God was praised. The king offered him gifts, which he refused advising the king that his God does not want him to take so much as a thread or a sandal strap so that no one could claim to have made him rich. He returned the captives.
Thank you for visiting me today. May God richly bless you and and the reading of His word.
