Abraham: Deferring to Lot, Chooses Hebron

Source: Nav

Genesis 13:1 So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.
Genesis 14:13 Then an escapee came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty to Abram.
Genesis 35:27 Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
