Genesis 13 / Leadership in family disputes

As Abram and his nephew, Lot, enter the Negeb, they realize the area has limited resources for what has become two large families and herds living and moving together.  When disputes arise among their workers, Abram suggests to Lot that they settle in two different areas (with more resources), and Lot chooses to head east toward Sodom.  Abram then, settles in the West.  Lot’s decision will have future ramifications.
