biblep2.blogspot.com The Arabic Translation The image for a stony figure looks like a woman in the mountain of Sodom the inhabitants called it the wife of Lot.
The societies in that area,depend on Solidarity Alliance between the neighboring inhabitants ,so, Lot joined the kings of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, as they were his allies ( the title king here means the great elder of the group , they were not kings by the sense of the kings of Egypt and the Mesopotamia ) . so that local alliance co-operate with the kings of Adama and Zeboim and Bela, against the other Alliance of the kings who came to catch the vale of Siddim where the mines of the Salts and the weels of the petroleum oil.
The other Alliance team included Amraphel the king of Shinar ( in the north of Iraq today ), Arioch the king of Ellasar ( it is near the old city of Ur at Sankera today ) ,Chedorlaomer the king of Elam ( Elam was the son of Sam the son of Noah , that nation lived in the northern part of The Tigris valley between The Babylonians and the Persians )and Tedal the king of Goeem ( or nations because he was famous for his ability to invade the other lands ) .
The reasons of that war were to catch the wells of the petroleum (Genesis 14:10 ) told us that there were Slime pit in the vale of Siddim , it was not the first time in the Bible , to record the oldest use of that substance by the old societies , The Bible told us that God ordered Noah to use it in Genesis 6:14 to pitch the Ark with the pitch .
The team of Lot was defeated and he became a captive ,while Abram was living in the plain of Memra after the misunderstanding of Lot , some one escaped from the war and told him whats wrong to Lot .
Abram was in Alliance with Aner and Ashcol the brothers of Memra thye elder of the house , because of that alliance The Great elder of that group of houses whose name was Melchizedek, co operate with them to succeed in their task , The King Constantine (1*H.Th. Frank "The Archeological Companion To The Bible " )built a Basilica Church near that site because he thought that it was the place where Abram was lived , but after the archeological discoveries nowadays , we discover that the real place is in the site of the house of the Governor of El-Khalil .
The reasons of establishing the Solidarity Alliances at that time were simple , because the wars at their times were depend on the numbers of the soldiers , the tools were very primitive , so , who possessed a great number of people succeeded , so every elder bought slaves as far as he could to secure his life , but his ability is limited not only because it costs him more money to buy more slaves but because he must secure their food and work due to his well's capacity to plant and develop the cattle and sheep , so his neighboring inhabitants who have a relationship with him ,join together with their slaves during the wars to collect more people to their team .
It was a wise plane to co operate with Melchizedek who protect the back of the army and send a sufficient and depend on God who worship him , also the time and the place of attacking helped them to defeat their enemies , Abram led his Alliance at night , he and his team were experts and had a good experience about the place as they were inhabitants ,so , they defeated them and delivered all the captive and the prisoners , Lot was liberated . .
