This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Gen_14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is] on the left hand of Damascus.

Ver. 15. Smote them, and pursued them.] Abram came upon them as they were, - secure, sleepy, and drunken, as Josephus writeth. So did David upon the Amalekites, {1Sa_30:16} and Ahab the Syrians. {1Ki_20:16} The division of his company, and taking benefit of the night, teacheth the use of godly policies and stratagems.
