GE-14:1  And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of

Shinar,

Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal

king of

nations;

GE-14:2  [That these] made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with

Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king

of

Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

GE-14:3  All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim,

which

is the salt sea.

GE-14:4  Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the

thirteenth

year they rebelled.

GE-14:5  And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the

kings

that [were] with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth

Karnaim, and

the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

GE-14:6  And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan,

which [is]

by the wilderness.

GE-14:7  And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which [is]

Kadesh,

and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the

Amorites,

that dwelt in Hazezontamar.

GE-14:8  And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of

Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and

the king

of Bela (the same [is] Zoar;) and they joined battle with them

in the

vale of Siddim;

GE-14:9  With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king

of

nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar;

 four

kings with five.

GE-14:10  And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits; and the

kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that

remained fled to the mountain.

GE-14:11  And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and

all

their victuals, and went their way.

GE-14:12  And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in

Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

GE-14:13  And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the

Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother

of

Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate with

Abram.

GE-14:14  And when Abram heard that his brother was taken

captive, he

armed his trained [servants], born in his own house, three

hundred and

eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan.

GE-14:15  And he divided himself against them, he and his

servants, by

night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is]

on the

left hand of Damascus.

GE-14:16  And he brought back all the goods, and also brought

again

his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the

people.

GE-14:17  And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his

return

from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that [were]

with

him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king's dale.

GE-14:18  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and

wine:

and he [was] the priest of the most high God.

GE-14:19  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of

the most

high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

GE-14:20  And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered

thine

enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

GE-14:21  And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the

persons,

and take the goods to thyself.

GE-14:22  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up

mine

hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven

and

earth,

GE-14:23  That I will not [take] from a thread even to a

shoelatchet,

and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou

shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

GE-14:24  Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the

portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre;

let

them take their portion.
