How do we reconcile the many references to the ancient patriarchs engaging in violent warfare with the words of Christ?
“… for all they that take the sword shall perish
with the sword” (Matt. 26:52)

“Seeking, first of all, divine counsel, Abraham prepared for war” (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 135)
