Book of Genesis: Chapter 14:The Battle of Kings. Lot’s Captivity and Rescue. Melchizedek, King of Salem

Welcome to the Audio Bible, where we read the Bible everyday - from the Book the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation.

Today, we are reading from the Book of Genesis, Chapter 14. This chapter recounts a pivotal moment when a coalition of kings wage war against each other. The Kings of Shinar, Ellasar, Elam and Goyim go up against the Kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboyin and Bela. In a tale of rebellion and conflict, these kingdoms clash in the Valley of Sidon, marking a significant episode in biblical history.

Amidst the chaos, Lot, Abram's nephew, is captured as Sodom and Gomorrah is plundered. In a display of courage and loyalty, Abram arms his trained servants and embarks on a daring mission to rescue Lot from captivity.

The chapter takes a turn as Abram encounters Melchizedek, the king of Salem and priest of God Most High, who blesses Abram for his victorious pursuit. The chapter concludes with Abram's profound declaration of faith, choosing integrity over material wealth.

Join us as we explore the depths of faith, loyalty, and divine providence in Genesis 14, continuing our daily journey through the holy scriptures.
