21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 22 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, 23 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: 24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion (Genesis 14:21-24).
Abraham wanted God to get the glory for the victory. Therefore, Abraham didn’t want any of the wealth from the victory from the king of Sodom. What God provided was sufficient. The lesson from Abraham is that we are to rely on rewards form God and not human rewards.
