1. And it came to pass —This chapter presents Abram in the unexpected character of a warrior. The occasion was this: The king of Sodom and the kings of the adjoining cities, after having been tributaries for twelve years to the king of Elam, combined to throw off his yoke. To chastise their rebellion, as he deemed it, Chedorlaomer, with the aid of three allies, invaded the territories of the refractory princes, defeated them in a pitched battle where the nature of the ground favored his army ( :- ), and hastened in triumph on his homeward march, with a large amount of captives and booty, though merely a stranger. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
