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.
