Genesis 13:5-9 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.… Saul was anxious to pick a quarrel with David, but in vain. We all know who came off best in the end. Gotthold quaintly says, "It is not disgraceful to step aside when a great stone is rolling down the hill up which you are climbing, and let it rush past." He who provokes a quarrel sets the stone rolling, and he who steps aside to avoid it does not disgrace himself by so doing. (J. Spencer.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.WEB: Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. |
