Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 14:22

Verse 22. I have lift up mine hand] The primitive mode of appealing to God, and calling him to witness a particular transaction; this no doubt generally obtained among the faithful till circumcision, the sign of the covenant, was established. After this, in swearing, the hand was often placed on the circumcised part; see chap. xxiv. 2, 9.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 21-24 - Observe the king of Sodom's grateful offer to Abram, Give me the souls and take thou the substance. Gratitude teaches us to recompense to the utmost of our power, those that have undergone fatigues, run hazards and been at expense for our service and benefit. Abram generousl refused this offer. He accompanies his refusal with a good reason, Les thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: which would reflect upo the promise promise and covenant of God, as if He would not have enriched Abraham without the spoils of Sodom. The people of God must for their credit's sake, take heed of doing any thing that looks mea or mercenary, or that savors of covetousness and self-seeking. Abraha can trust the Possessor of Heaven and earth to provide for him __________________________________________________________________
