Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on the Chosen people. As for Lot, he wanted
to believe and could believe in a god who could
make him so rich. But they seem to have come
up against an obstacle here. He just hoped Abram would
be in the right frame of mind to help him
solve it.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
But what are we supposed to do? Our men are
at each other's throats, Abram, and we can't agree on anything.
It's like a bad fever dream.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
We must separate. What do you think? The whole land
is before us? But I will let you decide which
way will you go?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
You honor me by allowing me to take the land
of my choosing uncle, Really you do, since you've offered
it to me. I'll take the Jordan place for my
family and herds. That's the direction, will go so close to.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Sodom, Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I think? I think the proximity of the city would
prove useful to me. Yeah, useful.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Be careful near those cities. I fear the influence of
their culture is more dangerous than their spears.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Lot waved his hand casually with a dismissive tone. He
shouted back to his.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Uncle, My mind is a lot vault of integrity, Egram,
you know this. I love you, Abram, and I always will.
You've always been a bit of a brother to me,
and you're everything an older brother should be. Your sense
of duty and loyalty are unmatched. Farewell ha ha, what
(01:44):
is it?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Lot?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Sh quiet?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Father? You're scaring me? Bless?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Did I sayd shut up?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Lot's arm was frozen where he had thrust it in
front of his wife and daughters, his body taught with fear.
He was perfectly still here, perked up to the sounds
of the night. He had been alerted to their presence
by chance. The night was unnaturally still. Animals ceased their
nighttime songs, the muffled chatter from the perimeter tents had
(02:12):
similarly disappeared, and the snapping of a twig too close
for comfort all pointed to a large force moving through
camp in stealth under cover of darkness. Lot's heart pounded
so ferociously that he feared it might be audible to
his terrified family beside him. Then piercing through the silence,
a scream, As if that initial cry was some secret signal,
(02:35):
a twisted chorus of tortured screams broke out into the night,
throughout their camp and in the distance from the city beyond.
It was followed by tormented sobbing and the unmistakable sounds
of slaughter. As if inspired by a supernatural premonition. Fueled
by adrenaline, Lot silently gestured for his family to follow
(02:55):
him through the back entrance of the tent. The end
of his younger door to Milker's dress had barely cleared
the opening. As a fist tore back the opening of
their tent, flanked by an already bloodied blade, Lot could
hear the audible sound of disappointment as the intruder beheld there,
now empty dwelling, unaware that his prey huddled in the
(03:15):
cramp walkway behind the tent. Again, led by a desperate,
prim alurge to escape, he dragged his wife and daughters
through their camp, keeping them out of sight. The horrors
they saw would haunt his dreams for years to come.
Unspeakable things were being done to the women of his camp,
and countless numbers of his men lay dead, dismembered, or
(03:37):
bleeding out on death's door. One such man noticed their
quiet escape in the direction of Sodom. He was writhing
on the ground, hand to his abdomen, struggling to keep
his entrails inside his body, gasping for air as he
poured the air in Lot's direction. Lot crept forward and
knelt beside the dying man to listen to what he
was trying to say.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Don't Golden's city, don't go to Sodom?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
What they set the city as well?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
There everywhere.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
As the man choked out his last words, shouts from
mere yards away forced him back to the shadows of
the walkway between tents where his family was hidden. As
he drew back, he noticed the man's dagger lying in
the damp dirt beside him. Lot grasped it and choked
back his disgust at the slick gore, clinging to the weapon.
(04:33):
At least he had some sort of defense to protect
his family. Mercifully, he didn't need to use it. As
they went unnoticed through the camp turned killing field. They
crouched in the darkness just outside of what was their
caravan and took stock of what was before them. The
intruders had torched a few of the tents on the
(04:53):
far edge, and the flames now steadily consumed everything in
their path. Thick smoke choked the and in the distance,
twin flames were springing up, climbing the taller structures of Sodom.
Men hauled looted trunks of silver, gold, and anything else
they deemed a value through Lot's burning camp, callously stepping
(05:14):
over the corpses of his fallen men. The abused women
were being corralled into a line as well, surely to
be taken wherever Lots riches were headed.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Next Lot, what do we do?
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Where do we go? Where are they taking them?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Good, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We can't go into the city.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Then where will we gone? Where is it safe? It's
all gone, they're all there.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Laugh.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Quiet, you're whimpering, and focus. We need to get as
far away as we can. We can't be discovered.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Where do we go?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Where do we go? The mountains?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The mountains.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Are the mountains safe?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are the mountains safe?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You saw the ash pits when we first came here.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It will be perilous across them in the dark.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
We'll have to take that chance. We need cover.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
They'll find us out here on the plains. When the sun.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Rises decided, Lot turned to lead his family through the
Sidham Valley toward the mountains when the grinning warrior waiting
in the dark stepped in front of them, blocking their path.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Looking all the way out.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Lot's wife and daughters screamed. As he turned to look
behind him, he saw five more warriors spring forward and
grab them. He whirled back to confront his would be attacker,
palming his bloody dagger, and the world suddenly went black.
About forty miles away, in a wealthy district of the
(06:44):
city of Hebron, Abram reclined as a guest in the
home of his new friend and ally, the clan leader Mamory,
and his two brothers, Anna and Eshko. Abram did not
expect to find friends amongst the Amirates. All the other
Canaanites he met during his journey had been indifferent or
downright hostile, but he was surprised that he found favor
(07:07):
with Memory almost immediately, and they formed an unlikely alliance.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Mam Rey, brother, tell me, how goes our business?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Never better? I tell you something. I've started to believe
that our friend Abram here, Abram the Hebrew must have
blown into our town on the winds of prosperity. I
can't explain it, but ever since he came here and
we all began working together. I've never seen such a yield.
The flocks are multiplying faster than I've ever seen. The
(07:40):
crops are springing back to life, and production everywhere has
increased tenfold.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Here, let's drink to our new friend, Abram, Abram the
Hebrew ha you honor me, but surely the gain is
beneficial for us. All I couldn't asked for better friends,
And the kindness you've shown me and my people since
we came here will not be forgotten.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
No, it will not, they say.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
The horse city is prospering. It's as if the famine
never happened. The land is finally healing.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Suddenly, commotion from the receiving hall of the dwelling echoed
off the stone walls of the interior. The three men
halted their conversation to listen to the disturbance in the
other room. Abram's chief servant, Elieza, burst in not a
moment later, attempting to slow a somewhat unkempt travel worn
(08:38):
man from entering the room before him.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Master, pardon the intrusion, but this man insists on speaking
with you. I told him you were not at home.
Men I couldn't reason with him to wait for you
to return.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I must speak with Master Abram.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
What is the meaning of this?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's all right, Mumray you there. What are you called, Gira? Master?
If it pleases yeah? What have you come to say? Gira?
I've traveled far to bring you this news. I fear
they may be hunting me. Yet it's your nephew Lot.
They've taken him taken who's taken him? I don't know
(09:18):
for certain which king has him, but King kro Laomer
led the attack. I was able to learn that later.
They sacked the cities and destroyed the armies out on
the plane, I was in lot caravan outside the city,
though we didn't think they would come for us too.
I didn't see any survivors from the campus I escaped.
(09:38):
I don't think anyone was left alive. You're sure they
took Lot as a prisoner. Are you sure he isn't dead? Yes,
my lord, I saw them take Lot and the girls.
The other women from the camp were carted off with
their livestock and riches. As for his men, Will, I'm
not sure anywhere spared the marching them north. No one
(10:03):
thought four kings could defeat the five no one. They
traveled the King's highways on the heels of their victories
from the west.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Which cities were defeated, all of them.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
The alliance of the cities of the Plain are no more.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
A heaviness settled over the three men, receiving the terrible news.
The cities of the Plain long held the valley's southern
part of the Salt Sea. They were Sodom where Lot
and his family had gone gomorrah admach Zeboem and Bella.
But they were also slaves to King Caedalaoma, or had been.
(10:43):
After twelve long years, they rebelled against his tyranny, and
the rebellion had gone unchecked as King Cadalaoma invaded and
conquered the lands to the west, until now.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
So King Cadalaomer at last came to crush the rebellion
and take back what was.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
His beating the western nations. Our distant Amurak cousins included
into submission was not enough.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
It would seem it was not. This is grave news.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Indeed, Abram, forgive me for asking this, but why take
Lot and his family prisoner? Cero Lemar is not known
as a merciful man.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Perhaps they recognized that they were not canon Kites, and
not to hold.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Them to exploit a foreign government.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It doesn't matter. If they are alive, then I must
find them and take them back.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Abram. When you entered my house and we forged our alliance,
I swore to you then that my house would defend
your honor and fight in your battles in this time
of prosperity and peace, and never imagined we would be
called to arms quite like this. But you have the
strength of my house to aid you in this fight.
We will be with you, Abram.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Our shields and spears are yours, memory you honor me,
Thank you Escall, Thank you Henair. You are good men,
true friends.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
We are with you, Abram, to whatever end.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Abram could hear his friend's resolute words repeating over and
over in his mind as he hurried across hebron to
his caravan of tents. Abram always suspected he knew the
real reason he had found favor in this city and
with these powerful men, But now knowing perhaps the greater
purpose behind it, left Abram in awe. His God had
(12:39):
once again provided a way to rescue his family. This time,
Abram was determined to answer the corps. Though the decision
was already made, he knew what he had to do,
for he was still repairing what he had lost with
his wife. Abram's heart pounded with a mix of fear
and determination as he hurried to his tent to tell
(13:01):
Sarah what had transpired. He recounted every detail to her,
watching her face turn pale at the news.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh, those poor people, no survivors, and Lot and his
family were taken. Yes, and so you must go and
find him and bring him back.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yes, sir, I I will try. I must leave it
once so we don't lose that trail. I came here
directly to tell you, But now I must make preparations
to leave. I will raise my trained men and we
will begin the pursuit. We'll be a company of three
hundred eighteen, so we'll be able to cover ground quickly
and deftly.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Three hundred eighteen against a whole Eastern army led by
a king who has conquered many nations.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
The Amorites have agreed to join us as well. We
won't be alone, and you know that my God will
be with me, even.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Though the numbers are not in your favor. Even though
time is not on your side, even though your well
pass fighting age, Lot could be hundreds of miles away
in any direction. Lot chose to settle close to the
city that was his folly. You would still be loyal
to him despite all of that.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I would.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So you'll fight for him. Then you'll be courageous for him.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yes, I don't want to fail him. I I know
I've been a coward before.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
This is my chance to Abram turned his face away
from Sarah. He feared what would happen if he continued.
Abram couldn't bring himself to fully admit what had happened
in Egypt, certainly not to SARAHI perhaps someday, but the
failure still haunted him deeply. Feeling self conscious about what
(14:53):
he had started to confess aloud, Abram shuddered and trailed
off into silence, unable to meet her gay. Fighting back
the emotions welling up inside of him, he pushed down
his guilt toward his wife and turned to his feelings
for Lot. He couldn't lose Lot. He refused to consider
the possibility and bit back the fears that had been
(15:16):
creeping into his mind since the messenger burst into Memory's hall.
Sarah tentatively approached him and gently placed her hand on
his shoulder. She tilted her head to meet his gaze,
but he refused. Her voice was soft behind it was
a well of unrequited love.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Go ahead, save them, don't fail, and come.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Back home to me.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Abram, his three hundred and eighteen men, and the combined
forces of the Amirates set out and quickly found the
trail of King Cadlaioma and his Four King Alliance. They
had left a wake of destruction in their path, looting
and pillaging as they went north following the Euphrates River.
Abram's tracking party, made up of his trained men, made
(16:05):
remarkable speed. As Abram had become familiar with the hill
country on the western side of the valley. Abram's God
had shown him all of it in his years of
wandering before and after Egypt. They easily navigated the landscape
and used it to their advantage in avoiding the detection
of their enemy's scouts. When the larger Amirds force finally
(16:27):
caught up to them and made camp with them less
than half a day's march from the Four Kings Alliance,
Abram emerging as the unlikely military strategist among them laid
out their plan.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Just before dusk tomorrow. Your larger forces will allow yourselves
to be seen in the foothills. We're far enough away
that they cannot guess our true numbers. You will draw
the rise here to the west, and in all likelihood
it will be late enough in the day for them
not to be able to mount an attack until dawn.
(17:00):
They will spind the night preparing and be distracted as
I take my men to the east under darkness. There
we will slip between their camp and the river, will
spring an attack and disorient them. Though our force is small,
it will feel like another great army has stormed into
their midst. They will not flee west. They'll fear that
(17:22):
they will lack the advantage of the high ground, and
so they will flee either north or south, and we
will pursue them.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Hear, hear, and we will crush them whichever direction they choose.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
The fainting light of dusk intermixed with the dark clouds
on the horizon, painting the landscape the color of rotted wine.
Mamori's army positioned themselves on the foothills. Each man carried
two torches, making their army seem twice the size. The
Four King Alliance immediately began preparing for an attack. Abram
(17:58):
and his men lingered in the shadows near the enemy camp.
Abram grinned to himself as he and his men skirted
the perimeter, hearing the commander's bark orders with terse frayed tempers.
They were likely used to have been the hunter, never
the prey, and the reversal of rolls had them on edge.
Abram turned to Eliezer and smirked, you'd.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Ever expect us to be here with you, my lord.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I've come to expect the unexpected.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's the spirit first company attack.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
The first cluster of men charged out of the woods
into the enemy camp. None of them grew up as warriors,
but they were fiercely loyal to Abram. Their war cries
were deep and triumphant. They burst through the camp, slashing
away at unprepared Sodomite soldiers.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Second Company hard.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Abram stationed clusters of his men at regular intervals along
their eastern flank, making three hundred men feel like three
hundred thousand.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
In the dark.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
More men burst through the tree with fresh legs, passing
the men who had paused for combat. The sound of
clanging steel and torn flesh filled the camp. Abram tightened
his belt and drew his blade. He was no longer
a young man. The white in his beard and creases
in his eyes contrasted sharply with the tight muscles in
(19:25):
his arm holding up a sword. Fueled by passion, he bellowed.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
And company follow me.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The last of Abram's men paced behind him and around him.
He ran with the vigor of a man half his age.
The first man he saw as a foot soldier poised
with a spear. Abram swiped his sword across his body
from left to right, splitting the shaft of the spear
in half. He implanted his feet and swung back to
(19:54):
the left across his body, slashing the man's neck. Blood
sprayed out on agents. Each phase of the camp brought
a new challenger. Abram was no warrior, but a force
more powerful than him fueled him. Elieza was beside him,
protecting his blind side. All the men pressed forward, slowly,
(20:15):
diminishing their forces. As Abram predicted. They panicked at the
surprise attack from the opposite direction and fled north. Abram,
his men and the Amirates pursued them as far as Leish,
picking off any squadrons who fell behind or broke ranks
from the larger mass. When they reached the northern city
of Leish, beyond the mouth of the Euphrates River, they
(20:38):
launched another attack. This time Abram charged with more than
a thousand men by his side. His god promised him
that he would make him great. Since leaving the comforts
of aw Abram had sat in the palace of Pharaoh,
dined with warlords, and led an army into battle. As
Abram rushed the enemy, he couldn't help but wonder what
(20:59):
other things this god had in store for him. The
second attack was more successful than the last. Abram held
a staff in one hand and a sword in another,
parrying with the staff before attacking of the blade. He
was no master in warfare, but it didn't seem to matter.
The collective forces of Abram again pursued the last of
(21:22):
the Great army to Hobba, north of Damascus. They had
traveled hundreds of miles from where they started, Abram's God
sustaining them and granting them victory after victory, and it
was there that Abram and his men made their last stand.
With face caked in blood and sand, Abram screamed with
(21:43):
passu diceeing the enemy one by one. Each was a
barrier to his nephew. What had started as chaffed irritated
skin had turned roar and inflamed on Lots, wrists, and ankles.
He knew somewhere in the back of his muddled mind
that the overwhelming fatigue that gnawdered him day and night
(22:06):
was probably an infection. The wounds from his bonds had
never been adequately tended to His wife and daughters were
the same. He tried not to think about to morrow,
the next day, or even the next hour, and what
horrors they were sure to hold. They sat in the
dark prisoner's tent, trying to remain optimistic amid tragedy and suffering.
(22:29):
Lot could tell that his captors were anxious. The pace
they had adopted was grueling, and they were clearly frustrated.
He had the feeling that they were being pursued. Their
captors often took their frustrations out on Lot. Despite this,
he feared that if these pursuers were to overtake them,
they could be trading one evil for a more terrifying
(22:51):
one to strike fear in the hearts of King Cadelaoma
was no small feat. It was just before dawn and
the sun was only starting to warm at the tail
end of the night when the shouting and fighting began.
Whoever had been pursuing them finally caught up to their caravan.
Lot and his family couldn't see any of it. All
(23:14):
they could hear was the sound of clanging metal, battle
cries and tearing flesh.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
What will happen to us? Will they take the camp
we should never have leftter run, hoorry poor metal? Or
are we oh, are anywhere?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Quite?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Keep quiet? Listen?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Sure enough, the sounds of battle started to change. The
rhythm of blows and suffering began to slow. Someone was winning,
and from the inside of the prisoner's tent, it was
impossible to tell who it was. Lot and his family
exchanged leary glances with the other captives. An armored hand
and forearm threw back the sheepskin hide that was their
(23:57):
tents opening, the warrior silently made a terse assessment of
the space and called for aid. Lot's fever laden head
spun as his thoughts raced. The armor was not that
of their captors. This warrior was one of their pursuers.
More soldiers poured into the tent, taking in the prisoners,
All bound and roped together, they drew daggers as one
(24:21):
a diligent and practiced force. Lot braced himself for the
worst and squeezed his eyes shut, But then came the
sound of rope being frayed. Lot's eyes snapped open. They
were being released. Moments later, the prisoners were being helped
to their feet and their wounds assessed and tended to.
(24:42):
One particularly brusque soldier hauled Lot to his feet and
shouted something to the men outside ahead of him in
a language Lot did not know. He pulled Lot outside
the tent. Lot found himself squinting into the bright morning sun.
One laughed warrior was locked in battle with the general
of King Cadalaama's army. He seemed to be the last
(25:06):
man standing. The warrior was sure footed and moved deftly,
despite being smaller and much older. He had a confident
gravitas to him. This man could be a king. Abram
could barely keep his legs up. Every breath was heavy,
strained and painful, but he couldn't show weakness.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Not yet.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
He and King Cadalaama's general circled each other, waiting for
the other to make another move. The others had surrounded
them with holding their aid. They knew this was a
battle of honor. The general made another move, gliding his
feet through the dirt to jab at Abram's ribs. Abram
stepped to the side, but the blade grazed him. Abram winced,
(25:55):
but quickly parried with a downward chop of his sword.
The general blocked it with the thick leather armor on
his arm. Abram heard the sound of cracking bone. This
was his chance. Abram turned his hips back and cocked
his arm. He swung his star at the general's head.
The whack made everyone watch him gasp. Then, before the
(26:17):
general could gather himself, Abram thrust the tip of his
sword into the general's throat. The general fell, The crowd cheered,
and the euphoria of victory rushed through him. The exhaustion
of the supernatural feet finally washed over him. Abram stumbled
(26:37):
to his knees. It wasn't over yet. He had to
see if Lot was alive. He limped over to the
prisoner's tent. Several of his men were helping the prisoners
out of their bonds and to their feet. Knees buckling,
he collapsed before a familiar face he knew almost as
well as his own. The two wept at the sight
(26:59):
of each other. Still shaking with weariness and raw emotion,
he pulled Lot and his family into an embrace. All alive,
all safe. Abram hadn't failed them.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Abram, you came. You came for us.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Of course I did.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I hadn't even let myself hope that you would, or
that anyone would.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
You are my family, Lot. I will always fight for
you and come to your rescue man. Through the faithfulness
of my God, I hear you made it.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You saved us. Oh, thank you, apram Ah. Perhaps I
should thank your God as well for saving me and
my family. Eh.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Together Abram and Lot set about aiding the captured women
and other prisoners. They also discovered that the gold and
silver Lot lost in the abduction was still there, along
with riches from other kingdoms the Four king Alliance had
plundered before they broke camp to begin the long trek southward,
and after they had recovered, they freed the other prisoners
(28:06):
of war and sent them home to their countries in peace.
Once everything was settled, Abram's men, the Amirates, Lot, his
wife and daughters, and the women and men who had
been captured along with Lot's family started their long trek
home together. This Prey dog comproduction is only made possible

Previously on the Chosen people. As for Lot, he wanted
to believe and could believe in a god who could
make him so rich. But they seem to have come
up against an obstacle here. He just hoped Abram would
be in the right frame of mind to help him
solve it.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
But what are we supposed to do? Our men are
at each other's throats, Abram, and we can't agree on anything.
It's like a bad fever dream.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
We must separate. What do you think? The whole land
is before us? But I will let you decide which
way will you go?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
You honor me by allowing me to take the land
of my choosing uncle, Really you do, since you've offered
it to me. I'll take the Jordan place for my
family and herds. That's the direction, will go so close to.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Sodom, Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I think? I think the proximity of the city would
prove useful to me. Yeah, useful.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Be careful near those cities. I fear the influence of
their culture is more dangerous than their spears.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Lot waved his hand casually with a dismissive tone. He
shouted back to his.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Uncle, My mind is a lot vault of integrity, Egram,
you know this. I love you, Abram, and I always will.
You've always been a bit of a brother to me,
and you're everything an older brother should be. Your sense
of duty and loyalty are unmatched. Farewell ha ha, what
(01:44):
is it?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Lot?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Sh quiet?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Father? You're scaring me? Bless?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Did I sayd shut up?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Lot's arm was frozen where he had thrust it in
front of his wife and daughters, his body taught with fear.
He was perfectly still here, perked up to the sounds
of the night. He had been alerted to their presence
by chance. The night was unnaturally still. Animals ceased their
nighttime songs, the muffled chatter from the perimeter tents had
(02:12):
similarly disappeared, and the snapping of a twig too close
for comfort all pointed to a large force moving through
camp in stealth under cover of darkness. Lot's heart pounded
so ferociously that he feared it might be audible to
his terrified family beside him. Then piercing through the silence,
a scream, As if that initial cry was some secret signal,
(02:35):
a twisted chorus of tortured screams broke out into the night,
throughout their camp and in the distance from the city beyond.
It was followed by tormented sobbing and the unmistakable sounds
of slaughter. As if inspired by a supernatural premonition. Fueled
by adrenaline, Lot silently gestured for his family to follow
(02:55):
him through the back entrance of the tent. The end
of his younger door to Milker's dress had barely cleared
the opening. As a fist tore back the opening of
their tent, flanked by an already bloodied blade, Lot could
hear the audible sound of disappointment as the intruder beheld there,
now empty dwelling, unaware that his prey huddled in the
(03:15):
cramp walkway behind the tent. Again, led by a desperate,
prim alurge to escape, he dragged his wife and daughters
through their camp, keeping them out of sight. The horrors
they saw would haunt his dreams for years to come.
Unspeakable things were being done to the women of his camp,
and countless numbers of his men lay dead, dismembered, or
(03:37):
bleeding out on death's door. One such man noticed their
quiet escape in the direction of Sodom. He was writhing
on the ground, hand to his abdomen, struggling to keep
his entrails inside his body, gasping for air as he
poured the air in Lot's direction. Lot crept forward and
knelt beside the dying man to listen to what he
was trying to say.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Don't Golden's city, don't go to Sodom?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
What they set the city as well?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
There everywhere.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
As the man choked out his last words, shouts from
mere yards away forced him back to the shadows of
the walkway between tents where his family was hidden. As
he drew back, he noticed the man's dagger lying in
the damp dirt beside him. Lot grasped it and choked
back his disgust at the slick gore, clinging to the weapon.
(04:33):
At least he had some sort of defense to protect
his family. Mercifully, he didn't need to use it. As
they went unnoticed through the camp turned killing field. They
crouched in the darkness just outside of what was their
caravan and took stock of what was before them. The
intruders had torched a few of the tents on the
(04:53):
far edge, and the flames now steadily consumed everything in
their path. Thick smoke choked the and in the distance,
twin flames were springing up, climbing the taller structures of Sodom.
Men hauled looted trunks of silver, gold, and anything else
they deemed a value through Lot's burning camp, callously stepping
(05:14):
over the corpses of his fallen men. The abused women
were being corralled into a line as well, surely to
be taken wherever Lots riches were headed.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Next Lot, what do we do?
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Where do we go? Where are they taking them?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Good, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We can't go into the city.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Then where will we gone? Where is it safe? It's
all gone, they're all there.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Laugh.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Quiet, you're whimpering, and focus. We need to get as
far away as we can. We can't be discovered.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Where do we go?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Where do we go? The mountains?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The mountains.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Are the mountains safe?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are the mountains safe?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You saw the ash pits when we first came here.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It will be perilous across them in the dark.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
We'll have to take that chance. We need cover.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
They'll find us out here on the plains. When the sun.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Rises decided, Lot turned to lead his family through the
Sidham Valley toward the mountains when the grinning warrior waiting
in the dark stepped in front of them, blocking their path.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Looking all the way out.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Lot's wife and daughters screamed. As he turned to look
behind him, he saw five more warriors spring forward and
grab them. He whirled back to confront his would be attacker,
palming his bloody dagger, and the world suddenly went black.
About forty miles away, in a wealthy district of the
(06:44):
city of Hebron, Abram reclined as a guest in the
home of his new friend and ally, the clan leader Mamory,
and his two brothers, Anna and Eshko. Abram did not
expect to find friends amongst the Amirates. All the other
Canaanites he met during his journey had been indifferent or
downright hostile, but he was surprised that he found favor
(07:07):
with Memory almost immediately, and they formed an unlikely alliance.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Mam Rey, brother, tell me, how goes our business?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Never better? I tell you something. I've started to believe
that our friend Abram here, Abram the Hebrew must have
blown into our town on the winds of prosperity. I
can't explain it, but ever since he came here and
we all began working together. I've never seen such a yield.
The flocks are multiplying faster than I've ever seen. The
(07:40):
crops are springing back to life, and production everywhere has
increased tenfold.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Here, let's drink to our new friend, Abram, Abram the
Hebrew ha you honor me, but surely the gain is
beneficial for us. All I couldn't asked for better friends,
And the kindness you've shown me and my people since
we came here will not be forgotten.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
No, it will not, they say.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
The horse city is prospering. It's as if the famine
never happened. The land is finally healing.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Suddenly, commotion from the receiving hall of the dwelling echoed
off the stone walls of the interior. The three men
halted their conversation to listen to the disturbance in the
other room. Abram's chief servant, Elieza, burst in not a
moment later, attempting to slow a somewhat unkempt travel worn
(08:38):
man from entering the room before him.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Master, pardon the intrusion, but this man insists on speaking
with you. I told him you were not at home.
Men I couldn't reason with him to wait for you
to return.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I must speak with Master Abram.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
What is the meaning of this?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's all right, Mumray you there. What are you called, Gira? Master?
If it pleases yeah? What have you come to say? Gira?
I've traveled far to bring you this news. I fear
they may be hunting me. Yet it's your nephew Lot.
They've taken him taken who's taken him? I don't know
(09:18):
for certain which king has him, but King kro Laomer
led the attack. I was able to learn that later.
They sacked the cities and destroyed the armies out on
the plane, I was in lot caravan outside the city,
though we didn't think they would come for us too.
I didn't see any survivors from the campus I escaped.
(09:38):
I don't think anyone was left alive. You're sure they
took Lot as a prisoner. Are you sure he isn't dead? Yes,
my lord, I saw them take Lot and the girls.
The other women from the camp were carted off with
their livestock and riches. As for his men, Will, I'm
not sure anywhere spared the marching them north. No one
(10:03):
thought four kings could defeat the five no one. They
traveled the King's highways on the heels of their victories
from the west.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Which cities were defeated, all of them.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
The alliance of the cities of the Plain are no more.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
A heaviness settled over the three men, receiving the terrible news.
The cities of the Plain long held the valley's southern
part of the Salt Sea. They were Sodom where Lot
and his family had gone gomorrah admach Zeboem and Bella.
But they were also slaves to King Caedalaoma, or had been.
(10:43):
After twelve long years, they rebelled against his tyranny, and
the rebellion had gone unchecked as King Cadalaoma invaded and
conquered the lands to the west, until now.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
So King Cadalaomer at last came to crush the rebellion
and take back what was.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
His beating the western nations. Our distant Amurak cousins included
into submission was not enough.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
It would seem it was not. This is grave news.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Indeed, Abram, forgive me for asking this, but why take
Lot and his family prisoner? Cero Lemar is not known
as a merciful man.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Perhaps they recognized that they were not canon Kites, and
not to hold.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Them to exploit a foreign government.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It doesn't matter. If they are alive, then I must
find them and take them back.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Abram. When you entered my house and we forged our alliance,
I swore to you then that my house would defend
your honor and fight in your battles in this time
of prosperity and peace, and never imagined we would be
called to arms quite like this. But you have the
strength of my house to aid you in this fight.
We will be with you, Abram.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Our shields and spears are yours, memory you honor me,
Thank you Escall, Thank you Henair. You are good men,
true friends.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
We are with you, Abram, to whatever end.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Abram could hear his friend's resolute words repeating over and
over in his mind as he hurried across hebron to
his caravan of tents. Abram always suspected he knew the
real reason he had found favor in this city and
with these powerful men, But now knowing perhaps the greater
purpose behind it, left Abram in awe. His God had
(12:39):
once again provided a way to rescue his family. This time,
Abram was determined to answer the corps. Though the decision
was already made, he knew what he had to do,
for he was still repairing what he had lost with
his wife. Abram's heart pounded with a mix of fear
and determination as he hurried to his tent to tell
(13:01):
Sarah what had transpired. He recounted every detail to her,
watching her face turn pale at the news.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh, those poor people, no survivors, and Lot and his
family were taken. Yes, and so you must go and
find him and bring him back.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yes, sir, I I will try. I must leave it
once so we don't lose that trail. I came here
directly to tell you, But now I must make preparations
to leave. I will raise my trained men and we
will begin the pursuit. We'll be a company of three
hundred eighteen, so we'll be able to cover ground quickly
and deftly.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Three hundred eighteen against a whole Eastern army led by
a king who has conquered many nations.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
The Amorites have agreed to join us as well. We
won't be alone, and you know that my God will
be with me, even.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Though the numbers are not in your favor. Even though
time is not on your side, even though your well
pass fighting age, Lot could be hundreds of miles away
in any direction. Lot chose to settle close to the
city that was his folly. You would still be loyal
to him despite all of that.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I would.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So you'll fight for him. Then you'll be courageous for him.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yes, I don't want to fail him. I I know
I've been a coward before.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
This is my chance to Abram turned his face away
from Sarah. He feared what would happen if he continued.
Abram couldn't bring himself to fully admit what had happened
in Egypt, certainly not to SARAHI perhaps someday, but the
failure still haunted him deeply. Feeling self conscious about what
(14:53):
he had started to confess aloud, Abram shuddered and trailed
off into silence, unable to meet her gay. Fighting back
the emotions welling up inside of him, he pushed down
his guilt toward his wife and turned to his feelings
for Lot. He couldn't lose Lot. He refused to consider
the possibility and bit back the fears that had been
(15:16):
creeping into his mind since the messenger burst into Memory's hall.
Sarah tentatively approached him and gently placed her hand on
his shoulder. She tilted her head to meet his gaze,
but he refused. Her voice was soft behind it was
a well of unrequited love.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Go ahead, save them, don't fail, and come.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Back home to me.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Abram, his three hundred and eighteen men, and the combined
forces of the Amirates set out and quickly found the
trail of King Cadlaioma and his Four King Alliance. They
had left a wake of destruction in their path, looting
and pillaging as they went north following the Euphrates River.
Abram's tracking party, made up of his trained men, made
(16:05):
remarkable speed. As Abram had become familiar with the hill
country on the western side of the valley. Abram's God
had shown him all of it in his years of
wandering before and after Egypt. They easily navigated the landscape
and used it to their advantage in avoiding the detection
of their enemy's scouts. When the larger Amirds force finally
(16:27):
caught up to them and made camp with them less
than half a day's march from the Four Kings Alliance,
Abram emerging as the unlikely military strategist among them laid
out their plan.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Just before dusk tomorrow. Your larger forces will allow yourselves
to be seen in the foothills. We're far enough away
that they cannot guess our true numbers. You will draw
the rise here to the west, and in all likelihood
it will be late enough in the day for them
not to be able to mount an attack until dawn.
(17:00):
They will spind the night preparing and be distracted as
I take my men to the east under darkness. There
we will slip between their camp and the river, will
spring an attack and disorient them. Though our force is small,
it will feel like another great army has stormed into
their midst. They will not flee west. They'll fear that
(17:22):
they will lack the advantage of the high ground, and
so they will flee either north or south, and we
will pursue them.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Hear, hear, and we will crush them whichever direction they choose.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
The fainting light of dusk intermixed with the dark clouds
on the horizon, painting the landscape the color of rotted wine.
Mamori's army positioned themselves on the foothills. Each man carried
two torches, making their army seem twice the size. The
Four King Alliance immediately began preparing for an attack. Abram
(17:58):
and his men lingered in the shadows near the enemy camp.
Abram grinned to himself as he and his men skirted
the perimeter, hearing the commander's bark orders with terse frayed tempers.
They were likely used to have been the hunter, never
the prey, and the reversal of rolls had them on edge.
Abram turned to Eliezer and smirked, you'd.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Ever expect us to be here with you, my lord.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I've come to expect the unexpected.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's the spirit first company attack.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
The first cluster of men charged out of the woods
into the enemy camp. None of them grew up as warriors,
but they were fiercely loyal to Abram. Their war cries
were deep and triumphant. They burst through the camp, slashing
away at unprepared Sodomite soldiers.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Second Company hard.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Abram stationed clusters of his men at regular intervals along
their eastern flank, making three hundred men feel like three
hundred thousand.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
In the dark.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
More men burst through the tree with fresh legs, passing
the men who had paused for combat. The sound of
clanging steel and torn flesh filled the camp. Abram tightened
his belt and drew his blade. He was no longer
a young man. The white in his beard and creases
in his eyes contrasted sharply with the tight muscles in
(19:25):
his arm holding up a sword. Fueled by passion, he bellowed.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
And company follow me.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The last of Abram's men paced behind him and around him.
He ran with the vigor of a man half his age.
The first man he saw as a foot soldier poised
with a spear. Abram swiped his sword across his body
from left to right, splitting the shaft of the spear
in half. He implanted his feet and swung back to
(19:54):
the left across his body, slashing the man's neck. Blood
sprayed out on agents. Each phase of the camp brought
a new challenger. Abram was no warrior, but a force
more powerful than him fueled him. Elieza was beside him,
protecting his blind side. All the men pressed forward, slowly,
(20:15):
diminishing their forces. As Abram predicted. They panicked at the
surprise attack from the opposite direction and fled north. Abram,
his men and the Amirates pursued them as far as Leish,
picking off any squadrons who fell behind or broke ranks
from the larger mass. When they reached the northern city
of Leish, beyond the mouth of the Euphrates River, they
(20:38):
launched another attack. This time Abram charged with more than
a thousand men by his side. His god promised him
that he would make him great. Since leaving the comforts
of aw Abram had sat in the palace of Pharaoh,
dined with warlords, and led an army into battle. As
Abram rushed the enemy, he couldn't help but wonder what
(20:59):
other things this god had in store for him. The
second attack was more successful than the last. Abram held
a staff in one hand and a sword in another,
parrying with the staff before attacking of the blade. He
was no master in warfare, but it didn't seem to matter.
The collective forces of Abram again pursued the last of
(21:22):
the Great army to Hobba, north of Damascus. They had
traveled hundreds of miles from where they started, Abram's God
sustaining them and granting them victory after victory, and it
was there that Abram and his men made their last stand.
With face caked in blood and sand, Abram screamed with
(21:43):
passu diceeing the enemy one by one. Each was a
barrier to his nephew. What had started as chaffed irritated
skin had turned roar and inflamed on Lots, wrists, and ankles.
He knew somewhere in the back of his muddled mind
that the overwhelming fatigue that gnawdered him day and night
(22:06):
was probably an infection. The wounds from his bonds had
never been adequately tended to His wife and daughters were
the same. He tried not to think about to morrow,
the next day, or even the next hour, and what
horrors they were sure to hold. They sat in the
dark prisoner's tent, trying to remain optimistic amid tragedy and suffering.
(22:29):
Lot could tell that his captors were anxious. The pace
they had adopted was grueling, and they were clearly frustrated.
He had the feeling that they were being pursued. Their
captors often took their frustrations out on Lot. Despite this,
he feared that if these pursuers were to overtake them,
they could be trading one evil for a more terrifying
(22:51):
one to strike fear in the hearts of King Cadelaoma
was no small feat. It was just before dawn and
the sun was only starting to warm at the tail
end of the night when the shouting and fighting began.
Whoever had been pursuing them finally caught up to their caravan.
Lot and his family couldn't see any of it. All
(23:14):
they could hear was the sound of clanging metal, battle
cries and tearing flesh.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
What will happen to us? Will they take the camp
we should never have leftter run, hoorry poor metal? Or
are we oh, are anywhere?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Quite?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Keep quiet? Listen?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Sure enough, the sounds of battle started to change. The
rhythm of blows and suffering began to slow. Someone was winning,
and from the inside of the prisoner's tent, it was
impossible to tell who it was. Lot and his family
exchanged leary glances with the other captives. An armored hand
and forearm threw back the sheepskin hide that was their
(23:57):
tents opening, the warrior silently made a terse assessment of
the space and called for aid. Lot's fever laden head
spun as his thoughts raced. The armor was not that
of their captors. This warrior was one of their pursuers.
More soldiers poured into the tent, taking in the prisoners,
All bound and roped together, they drew daggers as one
(24:21):
a diligent and practiced force. Lot braced himself for the
worst and squeezed his eyes shut, But then came the
sound of rope being frayed. Lot's eyes snapped open. They
were being released. Moments later, the prisoners were being helped
to their feet and their wounds assessed and tended to.
(24:42):
One particularly brusque soldier hauled Lot to his feet and
shouted something to the men outside ahead of him in
a language Lot did not know. He pulled Lot outside
the tent. Lot found himself squinting into the bright morning sun.
One laughed warrior was locked in battle with the general
of King Cadalaama's army. He seemed to be the last
(25:06):
man standing. The warrior was sure footed and moved deftly,
despite being smaller and much older. He had a confident
gravitas to him. This man could be a king. Abram
could barely keep his legs up. Every breath was heavy,
strained and painful, but he couldn't show weakness.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Not yet.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
He and King Cadalaama's general circled each other, waiting for
the other to make another move. The others had surrounded
them with holding their aid. They knew this was a
battle of honor. The general made another move, gliding his
feet through the dirt to jab at Abram's ribs. Abram
stepped to the side, but the blade grazed him. Abram winced,
(25:55):
but quickly parried with a downward chop of his sword.
The general blocked it with the thick leather armor on
his arm. Abram heard the sound of cracking bone. This
was his chance. Abram turned his hips back and cocked
his arm. He swung his star at the general's head.
The whack made everyone watch him gasp. Then, before the
(26:17):
general could gather himself, Abram thrust the tip of his
sword into the general's throat. The general fell, The crowd cheered,
and the euphoria of victory rushed through him. The exhaustion
of the supernatural feet finally washed over him. Abram stumbled
(26:37):
to his knees. It wasn't over yet. He had to
see if Lot was alive. He limped over to the
prisoner's tent. Several of his men were helping the prisoners
out of their bonds and to their feet. Knees buckling,
he collapsed before a familiar face he knew almost as
well as his own. The two wept at the sight
(26:59):
of each other. Still shaking with weariness and raw emotion,
he pulled Lot and his family into an embrace. All alive,
all safe. Abram hadn't failed them.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Abram, you came. You came for us.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Of course I did.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I hadn't even let myself hope that you would, or
that anyone would.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
You are my family, Lot. I will always fight for
you and come to your rescue man. Through the faithfulness
of my God, I hear you made it.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You saved us. Oh, thank you, apram Ah. Perhaps I
should thank your God as well for saving me and
my family. Eh.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Together Abram and Lot set about aiding the captured women
and other prisoners. They also discovered that the gold and
silver Lot lost in the abduction was still there, along
with riches from other kingdoms the Four king Alliance had
plundered before they broke camp to begin the long trek southward,
and after they had recovered, they freed the other prisoners
(28:06):
of war and sent them home to their countries in peace.
Once everything was settled, Abram's men, the Amirates, Lot, his
wife and daughters, and the women and men who had
been captured along with Lot's family started their long trek
home together. This Prey dog comproduction is only made possible
