description: (hide) Martin Collins, reflecting on the incident in which Abraham rescued his nephew Lot from Sodom, and Abraham’s refusal of King Bara’s offer of spoils, points out that Abraham did accept the offer ( of bread and wine)from Melchizedek (King of Righteousness or Salem), giving Him a tithe of all he possessed, indicating that he would choose the way of God over the spoils of the world—choosing Salem over Sodom. Abraham brought gifts to the Eternal from a grateful heart, was prompt and proportionate in his giving. We are encouraged to follow Abraham’s example.
