Genesis 14:22-23 (New English Translation)
22 But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand to the Lord, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth, and vow 23 that I will take nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal. That way you can never say, ‘It is I who made Abram rich.’
I love the NET translation for these verses. Abram wouldn’t take “the strap of a sandal” from the king of Sodom. Abram was trusting in Jehovah for the smallest thing to the biggest thing. Nothing was to come from another man. Nothing was to be credited to anyone or anything but Jehovah.
Such was the faith of Abram.
