Avram rebuffed the king of Sodom's wish to award him with all the war's spoils. When G‑d reassured Avram that he would be greatly rewarded for his righteousness, Avram broaches his childlessness. "What is the point of all the reward and wealth," Avram cried, "if I have no heir to inherit it?!"
G‑d assured Avram that he will indeed have a child, and promised that Avram's descendents will be as numerous as the stars of the heaven.
G-d's promise to Avram -Stars of heaven Wooden heart
