Genesis 14

My illustration of Gen 14

This chapter narrates the kings conquering each other's land, but ultimately God helped Abram win the battle against the tyrranic Kedorlaomer of Elam.
Then when King of Sodom offered Abram all his goods, he refused (smart tip from God) so that the king couldn't turn around and say "I made Abram rich" (v23) So Abram fought basically to save his  nephew Lot.
