(That is why the town was called Zoar.) 23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. 27 Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and the entire plain, and he saw that smoke was rising from the land like smoke from a furnace. 29 So it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham and brought Lot out from the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities where Lot had lived. 30 Lot left Zoar and went up into the mountains with his two daughters because he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.

    3All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).

    4For twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.

    5In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-Kiriathaim,

    6and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El-Paran, which is near the wilderness.

    7Then they turned back and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazezon-Tamar.

    8Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out and drew up their battle lines in the Valley of Siddim

    9against Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of nations, Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar—four kings against five.

    10Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell into them, but the rest fled to the hills.

    11Then they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went away.

    12They also took Lot, Abram's nephew, along with his possessions, since he lived in Sodom, and they departed.

    13Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living near the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner; these were allies of Abram.
