Genesis:14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim ,
which is the salt sea .
*
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer ,
and in the thirteenth year they rebelled .
*
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer ,
and the kings that were with him ,
and stroke the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim ,
and the Zuzims in Ham ,
and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim ,
*
And the Horites in their mount Seir ,
unto Elparan ,
which is by the wilderness .
*
And they returned ,
and came to Enmishpat ,
which is Kadesh ,
and stroke all the country of the Amalekites ,
and also the Amorites ,
that dwelt in Hazezontamar .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 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 .
*
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 Daniel .
*
And he divided himself against them ,
he and his servants ,
by night ,
and stroke them ,
and pursued them unto Hobah ,
which is on the left hand of Damascus .
*
And he brought back all the goods ,
and also brought again his brother Lot ,
and his goods ,
and the women also ,
and the people .
*
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 .
*
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine :
and he was the priest of the most high God .
*
And he blessed him ,
and said ,
Blessed be Abram of the most high God ,
possessor of heaven and earth :
*
And blessed be the most high God ,
which has delivered yours enemies into your hand .
And he gave him tithes of all .
*
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram ,
Give me the persons ,
and take the goods to yourself .
*
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 ,
*
That I will not take from a thread even to a shoe lace ,
and that I will not take any thing that is yours ,
lest you should say ,
I have made Abram rich :
*
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 .
