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 nations{H1471};

That these made{H6213}{(H8804)} 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}, which is{H1931} Zoar{H6820}.

All these were joined together{H2266}{(H8804)} in the vale{H6010} of Siddim{H7708}, which{H1931} is the salt{H4417} sea{H3220}.

Twelve{H6240}{H8147} years{H8141} they served{H5647}{(H8804)}{H853} Chedorlaomer{H3540}, and in the thirteenth{H7969}{H6240} year{H8141} they rebelled{H4775}{(H8804)}.

And in the fourteenth{H6240}{H702} year{H8141} came{H935}{(H8804)} Chedorlaomer{H3540}, and the kings{H4428} that were with him, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the Rephaims{H7497} in Ashteroth Karnaim{H6255}, and the Zuzims{H2104} in Ham{H1990}, and the Emims{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}{(H8799)}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} to{H413} Enmishpat{H5880}, which is Kadesh{H6946}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} all the country{H7704} of the Amalekites{H6003}, and also the Amorites{H567}, that dwelt{H3427}{(H8802)} in Hazezontamar{H2688}.

And there went out{H3318}{(H8799)} 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 joined{H6186}{(H8799)} battle{H4421} with them in the vale{H6010} of Siddim{H7708};

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

And the vale{H6010} of Siddim{H7708} was full of{H875} slimepits{H875}{H2564}; and the kings{H4428} of Sodom{H5467} and Gomorrah{H6017} fled{H5127}{(H8799)}, and fell{H5307}{(H8799)} there; and they that remained{H7604}{(H8737)} fled{H5127}{(H8804)} to the mountain{H2022}.

And they took{H3947}{(H8799)} all the goods{H7399} of Sodom{H5467} and Gomorrah{H6017}, and all their victuals{H400}, and went their way{H3212}{(H8799)}.

And they took{H3947}{(H8799)} Lot{H3876}, Abram's{H87} brother's{H251} son{H1121}, who dwelt{H3427}{(H8802)} in Sodom{H5467}, and his goods{H7399}, and departed{H3212}{(H8799)}.

And there came{H935}{(H8799)} one that had escaped{H6412}, and told{H5046}{(H8686)} Abram{H87} the Hebrew{H5680}; for he dwelt{H7931}{(H8802)} in the plain{H436} of Mamre{H4471} the Amorite{H567}, brother{H251} of Eshcol{H812}, and brother{H251} of Aner{H6063}: and these were confederate{H1167}{H1285} with Abram{H87}.

And when Abram{H87} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} that his brother{H251} was taken captive{H7617}{(H8738)}, he armed{H7324}{(H8686)} his trained{H2593} servants, born{H3211} in his own house{H1004}, three{H7969} hundred{H3967} and eighteen{H6240}{H8083}, and pursued{H7291}{(H8799)} them unto Dan{H1835}.

And he divided{H2505}{(H8735)} himself against them, he and his servants{H5650}, by night{H3915}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them, and pursued{H7291}{(H8799)} them unto Hobah{H2327}, which is on the left hand{H8040} of Damascus{H1834}.

And he brought back{H7725}{(H8686)} all the goods{H7399}, and also brought again{H7725}{(H8689)} 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}{(H8799)} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} him after{H310} his return{H7725}{(H8800)} from the slaughter{H5221}{(H8687)} of Chedorlaomer{H3540}, and of the kings{H4428} that were with him, at the valley{H6010} of Shaveh{H7740}, which{H1931} is the king's{H4428} dale{H6010}.

And Melchizedek{H4442} king{H4428} of Salem{H8004} brought forth{H3318}{(H8689)} bread{H3899} and wine{H3196}: and he was the priest{H3548} of the most high{H5945} God{H410}.

And he blessed{H1288}{(H8762)} him, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be Abram{H87} of the most high{H5945} God{H410}, possessor{H7069}{(H8802)} of heaven{H8064} and earth{H776}:

And blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be the most high{H5945} God{H410}, which hath delivered{H4042}{(H8765)} thine enemies{H6862} into thy hand{H3027}. And he gave{H5414}{(H8799)} him tithes{H4643} of all.

And the king{H4428} of Sodom{H5467} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Abram{H87}, Give{H5414}{(H8798)} me the persons{H5315}, and take{H3947}{(H8798)} the goods{H7399} to thyself.

And Abram{H87} said{H559}{(H8799)} to the king{H4428} of Sodom{H5467}, I have lift up{H7311}{(H8689)} mine hand{H3027} unto the LORD{H3068}, the most high{H5945} God{H410}, the possessor{H7069}{(H8802)} of heaven{H8064} and earth{H776},

That I will not{H518} take from a thread{H2339} even to a shoelatchet{H5275}{H8288}, and that I will not{H518} take{H3947}{(H8799)} any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say{H559}{(H8799)}, I have made{H6238} Abram{H87} rich{H6238}{(H8689)}:

Save{H1107} only that which{H834} the young men{H5288} have eaten{H398}{(H8804)}, and the portion{H2506} of the men{H582} which went{H1980}{(H8804)} with{H854} me, Aner{H6063}, Eshcol{H812}, and Mamre{H4471}; let them{H1992} take{H3947}{(H8799)} their portion{H2506}.
