In this section Abraham and his nephew Lot decide to divide up the land. It's one of the fist times we see the idea of land ownership evolving. Lot however is captured in a battle by for kings with very difficult names like Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goilim , Amarapher king of Shinar and Ariock king of Elarar. ( Say that three times fast!)
Abraham finds out and negotiates his nephews release. Again this shows Abraham a shrewd and successful negotiator. Like the Pharaoh situation with his wife Abraham comes out smelling like a rose.
