Genesis 14:18
"The king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley)."
Key Reflection
This encounter symbolizes the king of Sodom's recognition and respect for Abraham's victory, even as it foreshadows the tension between earthly kingdoms and divine favor that will play out in later narratives. The setting at the "King’s Valley" underscores this theme, suggesting a place where kingship and divine authority intersect.
