  1. The victory of the war and distribution of booty:
  • The king of Sodom offered Avraham to keep the spoils, but return the people [to his nation]. Avraham refused to take any of the spoils, so people would not say that the king of Sodom made him wealthy. However, he did request payment for his people who joined him in battle.
  • Hashem blesses Avraham with children: After the above occurrence, Hashem appeared to Avraham and reassured him of his great reward. Avraham responded by saying that his reward is irrelevant as he has no heirs amongst his offspring who will inherit it. Hashem then promised Avraham that he will have a child who will inherit him. He took Avraham outside and pointed towards the stars in heaven saying that his descendants will be as many as the stars of the sky.
