GEN 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;
GEN 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.
GEN 14:3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the
salt sea.
GEN 14:4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they
rebelled.
GEN 14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were
with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham,
and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
GEN 14:6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the
wilderness.
GEN 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.
GEN 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;
GEN 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.
GEN 14:10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom
and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
GEN 14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their
victuals, and went their way.
GEN 14:12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his
goods, and departed.
GEN 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.
GEN 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.
GEN 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.
GEN 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.
GEN 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.
GEN 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he
was the priest of the most high God.
GEN 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth:
GEN 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies
into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
GEN 14:21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take
the goods to thyself.
GEN 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,
GEN 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:
GEN 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.
