These allies assist Abram in the rescue of his nephew Lot, who had been taken captive during a regional conflict involving several kings. The relevant passage is found in Genesis 14:13-24. In this account, Aner is depicted as a confederate of Abram, indicating a relationship of mutual support and alliance.

This is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 6:70, where Aner is listed among the towns given to the Levites. The specific location and historical details of this place are not extensively documented in the biblical text.

• Biblical References:
• Genesis 14:13-24 (BSB): "Then a fugitive came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty to Abram."
• 1 Chronicles 6:70 (BSB): "And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Aner and Bileam, together with their pasturelands, were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans."
