Genesis 14:1-24 (summarized)
Abram’s family had their property stolen by King Sodom, Abram retaliates and defeats King Sodom & takes back what is rightfully his, not only does he keep what is his, he gives a 10th to the king he defeated.
The King of sodom says “take all the property for yourself”
Abram replys with “I swear to God, The High God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, this solemn oath, that I’ll take nothing from you, not so much as a thread or a shoestring. I’m not going to have you go around saying, ‘I made Abram rich.’ Nothing for me other than what the young men ate and the share of the men who went with me”

Not only did Abram show what God believes individual property rights are, but he also shows that he refuses not take what is rightfully King Sodoms.
