The Lord Will

Genesis 14:16

β€œAnd he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 14

Meaning

Lot, the women, the other captives, and the goods are all brought back after Abram's successful pursuit.

Read carefully

The recovery of people prevents the episode from being reduced to a story about possessions or military prestige.

Reflection

The result of Abram's victory is restoration of persons and households rather than acquisition of conquered territory.
