Why modern nuclear infrastructure may carry similar single-point vulnerabilities
Abraham defeated a coalition of four kings whose armies had crushed multiple nations in Canaan. Abraham himself fielded only trained men from his own household, according to Genesis (14) KJV Holy Bible. The account describes a punitive campaign led by a Mesopotamian coalition, effectively a regional superpower bloc. The four kings were: Chedorlaomer; Amraphel (Babylonia); Arioch; Tidal, king of Goiim (a multi‑ethnic coalition) and they had been on a rampage for years, subjugating city‑states in the Jordan Valley (Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, Bela). They defeated multiple other nations on their march south (Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim, Horites, Amalekites, Amorites).
