1And it was in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim.2They made battle with Bera king of Sodom and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (it is Zoar).3All these united to the Valley of Siddim (the Valley, it is the Salt Sea).4Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and thirteen years they rebelled.5And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings who were with him, and they smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim and the Zuzim in Ham and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim.6And the Horites in their Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is by the wilderness.7And they returned and came to En-mishpat (it is Kadesh), and they smote all the land of the Amalekite and also the Amorite who was dwelling in Hazazon-tamar.8And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (it is Zoar), and they arranged battle with them in the Valley of Siddim.9With Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings with the five.10And the Valley of Siddim had wells of bitumen. And the king of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell there, and the ones remaining fled to the mountain.11And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went.12And they took Lot and his property, the son of the brother of Abram, and they went; and he was dwelling in Sodom.13And the survivor came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he was dwelling in the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and they were masters of covenant with Abram.14And Abram heard that his brother had been taken captive, and he emptied his trained men born of his house, eighteen and three hundred, and he pursued as far as Dan.15And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and he smote them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the north of Damascus.16And he returned all the property, and also Lot his brother and his property he returned, and also the women and the people.17And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from smiting Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, to the Valley of Shaveh (it is the Valley of the King).18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out food and wine; and he was priest to God Most High.19And he blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram to God Most High, possessor of heaven and land."20And blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies in your hand; and he gave to him a tithe from all.21And the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give to me the soul, and the property take to yourself."22And Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have exalted my hand to the LORD God Most High, possessor of heaven and land."23If from a thread even to a thong of a sandal, and if I take from all that is yours, then you will not say, "I have enriched Abram."24Beside me, except what the youths ate and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; they will take their portion.
