Four kings clapped five kings in battle, and Sodom got raided — Lot and all his stuff taken. Abram heard about it, rallied 318 trained men from his household (bro had a whole militia), chased the kings down, and got everything back. Then Melchizedek blessed him and Abram gave him a tenth. The king of Sodom tried to cut a deal but Abram said nah, I don't need your bag.

Abram Really Said 'Nobody Takes My Family'

Four kings roll up on five kings, snatch Lot in the process, and Abram assembles 318 trained men for a rescue mission that goes crazy. Then a mysterious priest-king named Melchizedek shows up with bread and wine, and Abram refuses to take a single thread from Sodom's king.
