A coalition of kings sweeps through the area, defeats Sodom, and hauls off Lot along with everything else. Abraham organizes a surprise attack, chases them all the way to Dan, and recovers everyone and everything.

GenesisThe Rescue and the Two Kings

When a four-king coalition kidnaps his nephew Lot, Abram transforms from quiet nomad to military commander overnight — chasing down armies with 318 men. But the real reveal comes after the battle, when two very different kings present two very different offers, and Abram's responses show exactly where his trust sits.
