* And it came to pass , in the day of Amraphel king of Shinar , Arioch king of Ellasar , Kedorlaomer king of Elam , and Tidal king of Goyim ; * That these made war with Bera king of Sodom , and with Birsha king of Gomorrah , Shinab king of Admah , and Shemeber king of Zeboyim , and the king of Bela , which is Zoar . * All these joined together in the vale of Siddim , which is now the salt sea . * Twelve years had they served Kedorlaomer , but in the thirteenth year they rebelled . * And in the fourteenth year came Kedorlaomer , and the kings that were with him , and they smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth –karnayim , and the Zuzim in Ham , and the Emim in Shaveh –kiriathayim , * And the Horites in their mountain Seir , unto El –paran , which is by the wilderness . * And they returned and came to Enmishpat , which is Kadesh , and smote all the country of the Amalekites , and also the Emorites , that dwelt in Hazezon –tamar . * And then went out the king of Sodom , and the king of Gomorrah , and the king of Admah , and the king of Zeboyim , and the king of Bela , and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim ; * With Kedorlaomer king of Elam , and with Tidal king of Goyim , and Amraphel king of Shinar , and Arioch king of Ellasar ; four kings with five . * And the vale of Siddim was full of slime –pits ; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled , and fell therein ; and they that remained fled to the mountain . * And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah , and all their victuals , and went their way . * And they took Lot , Abram ’s brother ’s son , who dwelt in Sodom , and his goods , and departed . * And there came one that had escaped , and told it to Abram the Hebrew ; but he dwelt in the grove of Mamre the Emorite , brother of Eshcol , and brother of Aner , and these were confederates of Abram . * 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 into Daniel . * 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 . * And he brought back all the goods ; and he also brought again his brother Lot , and his goods , and also the women , and the people . * And the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh , which is the kings ’ dale . * And Malkizidek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine ; and he was a priest of the most high God . * And he blessed him , and said , Blessed be Abram of the most high God , the possessor of heaven and earth . * And blessed he the most high God , who hath delivered thy enemies into thy hand . And he gave him tithes of all . * And the king of Sodom said unto Abram , Give me the persons , and the goods take to thyself . * And Abram said to the king of Sodom , I have lifted up my hand unto the Lord , the most high God , the possessor of heaven and earth , * That I will not take from a thread even to a shoe –latchet , and that I will not take any thing that is thine ; lest thou shouldst say , I have made Abram rich : * Save only that which the young men have eaten , and the portion of the men who went with me , Aner , Eshcol , and Mamre ––these may take their portion .
