One day the people that lived around Lot refused to pay taxes to
a far away king. So, the king got some other kings and conquered
the cities. They took Lot and the people with their possessions.
One man escaped from the king and told Abram what had happened.
So, Abram got some of his friends and formed an army. They recused
Lot and all the people with their possessions.
On the way home, Abram stopped and gave a tithe to the king of
Salem who was God's priest.
Then Abram took all the people home, but he would not keep anything
for himself. He only wanted to be sure that the soldiers had food
to eat and that his friends received their portion of the bounty.
