    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.

    14When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he mustered the 318 trained men born in his household and pursued them as far as Dan.
