1 And it came to pass in the days of Am­raphel king of Shi­nar, Ar­i­och king of El­lasar, Che­do­r­laomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of na­tions; 2 That these made war 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, which is Zoar. 3 All these were joined to­geth­er in the vale of Sid­dim, which is the salt sea. 4 Twelve years they served Che­do­r­laomer, and in the thir­teenth year they re­belled. 5 And in the four­teenth year came Che­do­r­laomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Kar­naim, and the Zuz­ims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim, 6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El­paran, which is by the wilder­ness. 7 And they re­turned, and came to En­mish­pat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the coun­try of the Amalekites, and also the Amor­ites, that dwelt in Haze­zon­ta­mar. 8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Go­mor­rah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Ze­boi­im, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar; ) and they joined bat­tle with them in the vale of Sid­dim; 9 With Che­do­r­laomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of na­tions, and Am­raphel king of Shi­nar, and Ar­i­och king of El­lasar; four kings with five. 10 And the vale of Sid­dim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Go­mor­rah fled, and fell there; and they that re­mained fled to the moun­tain. 11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Go­mor­rah, and all their vict­uals, and went their way. 12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and de­part­ed. 13 And there came one that had es­caped, and told Abram the He­brew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mam­re the Amor­ite, broth­er of Es­h­col, and broth­er of An­er: and these were con­fed­er­ate with Abram. 14 And when Abram heard that his broth­er was tak­en cap­tive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hun­dred and eigh­teen, and pur­sued them unto Dan. 15 And he di­vid­ed him­self against them, he and his ser­vants, by night, and smote them, and pur­sued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Dam­as­cus. 16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his broth­er Lot, and his goods, and the wom­en al­so, and the peo­ple. 17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him af­ter his re­turn from the slaugh­ter of Che­do­r­laomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the val­ley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale. 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, pos­ses­sor of heav­en and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath de­liv­ered thine en­e­mies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. 21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the per­sons, and take the goods to thy­self. 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the pos­ses­sor of heav­en and earth, 23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoe­latch­et, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: 24 Save only that which the young men have eat­en, and the por­tion of the men which went with me, An­er, Es­h­col, and Mam­re; let them take their por­tion.
