Genesis 14:5 - "Rephaims" = a race of giants (Strong's #7497). Abram defeats those who had defeated the giants!
Genesis 14:21-23 - And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich.
Note: Abram's God is the possessor of heaven and earth. He will provide for Abram without Abram having to turn to the wicked King of Sodom. See III John 7 of those in the ministry, "Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles." Compare II Kings 5:15-27.
