Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Genesis 14:14

_ _ And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants — domestic slaves, such as are common in Eastern countries still and are considered and treated as members of the family. If Abram could spare three hundred and eighteen slaves and leave a sufficient number to take care of the flocks, what a large establishment he must have had.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Genesis 14:13-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 14:14

He armed his trained servants, born in his house — To the number of three hundred and eighteen: a great family, but a small army; about as many as Gideon's that routed the Midianites, Judges 7:7. He drew out his trained servants, or his catechized servants; not only instructed in the art of war, but instructed in the principles of religion; for Abram commanded his household to keep the way of the Lord.
