SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:13
¶ Y vino uno que escapó, y lo denunció a Abram el hebreo, que habitaba en el alcornocal de Mamre amorreo, hermano de Escol y hermano de Aner, los cuales estaban confederados con Abram.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 14:13
Verse 13. Abram the Hebrew] See note on ""chap. x. 21"". It is very likely that Abram had this appellation from his coming from beyond the river Euphrates to enter Canaan; for yrb[h haibri, which we render the Hebrew, comes from rb[ abar, to pass over, or come from beyond. It is supposed by many that he got this name from Eber or Heber, son of Salah; see chap. xi. 15. But why he should get a name from Heber, rather than from his own father, or some other of his progenitors, no person has yet been able to discover. We may, therefore, safely conclude that he bears the appellation of Hebrew or Ibrite from the above circumstance, and not from one of his progenitors, of whom we know nothing but the name, and who preceded Abram not less than six generations; and during the whole of that time till the time marked here, none of his descendants were ever called Hebrews; this is a demonstration that Abram was not called the Hebrew from Heber; see chap. xi. 15-27. These were confederate with Abram.] It seems that a kind of convention was made between Abram and the three brothers, Mamre, Eshcol, and Aner, who were probably all chieftains in the vicinity of Abram's dwelling: all petty princes, similar to the nine kings before mentioned.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-16 - Abram takes this opportunity to give a real proof of his being trul friendly to Lot. We ought to be ready to succour those in distress especially relations and friends. And though others may have bee 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.
