And it came to pass in the days{H3117} of Amraphel{H569} king{H4428} of Shinar,{H8152} Arioch{H746} king{H4428} of Ellasar,{H495} Chedorlaomer{H3540} king{H4428} of Elam,{H5867} and Tidal{H8413} king{H4428} of Goiim,{H1471}

that they made{H6213} war{H4421} with{H854} Bera{H1298} king{H4428} of Sodom,{H5467} and with Birsha{H1306} king{H4428} of Gomorrah,{H6017} Shinab{H8134} king{H4428} of Admah,{H126} and Shemeber{H8038} king{H4428} of Zeboiim,{H6636} and the king{H4428} of Bela{H1106} (the same is{H1931} Zoar).{H6820}

All these joined together{H2266} in the vale{H6010} of Siddim{H7708} (the same{H1931} is the Salt{H4417} Sea).{H3220}

Twelve{H6240} years{H8141} they served{H5647} Chedorlaomer,{H3540} and in the thirteenth{H7969} year{H8141} they rebelled.{H4775}

And in the fourteenth{H6240} year{H8141} came{H935} Chedorlaomer,{H3540} and the kings{H4428} that were with him, and smote{H5221} the Rephaim{H7497} in Ashteroth-karnaim,{H6255} and the Zuzim{H2104} in Ham,{H1990} and the Emim{H368} in Shaveh-kiriathaim,{H7741}

and the Horites{H2752} in their mount{H2042} Seir,{H8165} unto Elparan,{H364} which is by{H5921} the wilderness.{H4057}

And they returned,{H7725} and came{H935} to{H413} En-mishpat{H5880} (the same is Kadesh),{H6946} and smote{H5221} all the country{H7704} of the Amalekites,{H6003} and also the Amorites,{H567} that dwelt{H3427} in Hazazon-tamar.{H2688}

And there went out{H3318} the king{H4428} of Sodom,{H5467} and the king{H4428} of Gomorrah,{H6017} and the king{H4428} of Admah,{H126} and the king{H4428} of Zeboiim,{H6636} and the king{H4428} of Bela{H1106} (the same{H1931} is Zoar);{H6820} and they set{H6186} the battle{H4421} in array against them in the vale{H6010} of Siddim;{H7708}

against Chedorlaomer{H3540} king{H4428} of Elam,{H5867} and Tidal{H8413} king{H4428} of Goiim,{H1471} and Amraphel{H569} king{H4428} of Shinar,{H8152} and Arioch{H746} king{H4428} of Ellasar;{H495} four{H702} kings{H4428} against the five.{H2568}

Now the vale{H6010} of Siddim{H7708} was full of{H875} slime pits;{H875} and the kings{H4428} of Sodom{H5467} and Gomorrah{H6017} fled,{H5127} and they fell{H5307} there, and they that remained{H7604} fled{H5127} to the mountain.{H2022}

And they took{H3947} all the goods{H7399} of Sodom{H5467} and Gomorrah,{H6017} and all their victuals,{H400} and went their way.{H3212}

And they took{H3947} Lot,{H3876} Abram's{H87} brother's{H251} son,{H1121} who dwelt{H3427} in Sodom,{H5467} and his goods,{H7399} and departed.{H3212}

And there came{H935} one that had escaped,{H6412} and told{H5046} Abram{H87} the Hebrew:{H5680} now he dwelt{H7931} by the oaks{H436} of Mamre,{H4471} the Amorite,{H567} brother{H251} of Eshcol,{H812} and brother{H251} of Aner;{H6063} and these were confederate{H1167} with Abram.{H87}

And when Abram{H87} heard{H8085} that his brother{H251} was taken captive,{H7617} he led forth{H7324} his trained{H2593} men, born{H3211} in his house,{H1004} three{H7969} hundred{H3967} and eighteen,{H6240} and pursued{H7291} as far as Dan.{H1835}

And he divided{H2505} himself against them by night,{H3915} he and his servants,{H5650} and smote{H5221} them, and pursued{H7291} them unto Hobah,{H2327} which is on the left hand{H8040} of Damascus.{H1834}

And he brought back{H7725} all the goods,{H7399} and also brought back{H7725} his brother{H251} Lot,{H3876} and his goods,{H7399} and the women{H802} also, and the people.{H5971}

And the king{H4428} of Sodom{H5467} went out{H3318} to meet{H7125} him, after{H310} his return{H7725} from the slaughter{H5221} of Chedorlaomer{H3540} and the kings{H4428} that were with him, at the vale{H6010} of Shaveh{H7740} (the same{H1931} is the King's{H4428} Vale).{H6010}

And Melchizedek{H4442} king{H4428} of Salem{H8004} brought forth{H3318} bread{H3899} and wine:{H3196} and he was priest{H3548} of God{H410} Most High.{H5945}

And he blessed{H1288} him, and said,{H559} Blessed{H1288} be Abram{H87} of God{H410} Most High,{H5945} possessor{H7069} of heaven{H8064} and earth:{H776}

and blessed{H1288} be God{H410} Most High,{H5945} who hath delivered{H4042} thine enemies{H6862} into thy hand.{H3027} And he gave{H5414} him a tenth{H4643} of all.

And the king{H4428} of Sodom{H5467} said{H559} unto Abram,{H87} Give{H5414} me the persons,{H5315} and take{H3947} the goods{H7399} to thyself.

And Abram{H87} said{H559} to the king{H4428} of Sodom,{H5467} I have lifted up{H7311} my hand{H3027} unto Jehovah,{H3068} God{H410} Most High,{H5945} possessor{H7069} of heaven{H8064} and earth,{H776}

that I will not{H518} take a thread{H2339} nor a shoe-latchet{H5275} nor aught{H518} that{H3947} is thine, lest thou shouldest say,{H559} I have made{H6238} Abram{H87} rich:{H6238}

save{H1107} only that which{H834} the young men{H5288} have eaten,{H398} and the portion{H2506} of the men{H582} that went{H1980} with{H854} me, Aner,{H6063} Eshcol,{H812} and Mamre;{H4471} let them{H1992} take{H3947} their portion.{H2506}
