An Application
It's not specified if Abram and his companions were really that impressive of a fighting force or if God was simply with them. Compare GE 14:14 to JDG 7:8, and also JDG 7:2. When there's any doubt, it's safe to assume God was at work. And this is an example of Abram putting his money where his mouth was and trusting God to provide (in this case, provide protection and victory.) Do we? God will provide for us, too, what we need to accomplish His plan. Make sure to align your plans with His.
Connect the Dots
Nonbelievers often criticize the Bible for not being revisionist enough. Meaning, they wish the Bible were altered to say "more believable" things about the past and the actual text of the Bible would be rewritten to explain things as we understand them now. GE 14:14 has a revision since the name Dan came centuries later. Trivial revisions ok, scrubbing history would not. / Melchizedek (GE 14:18-20) will be referenced again in PS 110:4 and HEB 7:1-2, but God left him a mysterious guy on purpose.
