16 So he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the people.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 14:16

Commentary on Genesis 14:13-16

(Read Genesis 14:13-16)

Abram takes this opportunity to give a real proof of his being truly friendly to Lot. We ought to be ready to succour those in distress, especially relations and friends. And though others may have been wanting in their duty to us, yet we must not neglect our duty to them. Abram rescued the captives. As we have opportunity, we must do good to all.
