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.
