INTRO
The chapter consists of four scenes: (1) the decision to flee (vv.
1–16); (2) the flight and deceptions (vv.
17–21); (3) the overtaking of the fleeing party and the dispute (vv.
22–44); and (4) the peaceful settlement of the disputing parties (vv.
45–55).
The four scenes are essentially a series of speeches that are connected by brief narratives.
