"The Alexanders, the Hannibals, and the Scipios vie among themselves over supremacy in the glory of achievement, but I place Abraham ahead of them all.
He faces the enemy, not with a blind attack or with reckless daring but in faith; and so he is victorious. He had an insight that neither Alexander nor Scipio could have: through the Holy Spirit he brings along from home into battle the conviction that he would be victorious and that he would release his brother Lot. This is what is most admirable in his victory; and this is why it surpasses all the victories of all the heathen, be they ever so brilliant."
