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

    5In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings who were his allies came and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

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

    7Then they attacked En Mishpat(that is, Kadesh) again, and they conquered all the territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who were living in Hazazon 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 prepared for battle. In the Valley of Siddim they met

    9Kedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of nations, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar. Four kings fought against five.

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

    11The four victorious kings took all the possessions and food of Sodom and Gomorrah and left.

    12They also took Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions when they left, for Lot was living in Sodom.

    13A fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner.(All these were allied by treaty with Abram.)
