EPISODE 23 (Guests: Nate J, Tom F) - The fourteenth chapter of Genesis gives a historical account of a conflict known as the War of the Nine Kings, in which four kings from Mesopotamia to the east march into the promised land with their armies to punish the Canaanites for not paying their taxes. Abraham's nephew Lot is taken captive during this exchange, prompting Abraham to muster soldiers of his own to rescue his wayward nephew. Afterwards, Abraham is greeted by Melchizidek, a mysterious priest who commemorates Abraham's victory with a feast of bread and wine.
