Genesis 14:8-16

8And there wentH3318 out the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, and the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and the kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (the same is ZoarH6820); and they set the battleH4421 in array against them in the vale of SiddimH7708; 9against Chedorlaomer kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 kingH4428 of Goiim, and AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, and AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495; fourH702 kingsH4428 against the fiveH2568. 10Now the vale of SiddimH7708 was full of slime pitsH875; and the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and they fellH5307 there, and they that remainedH7604 fledH5127 to the mountainH2022. 11And they tookH3947 all the goods of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and all their victuals, and went their way. 12And they tookH3947 LotH3876, Abram’s brother’sH251 sonH1121, who dweltH3427 in SodomH5467, and his goods, and departed.

13And there cameH935 one that had escaped, and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680: now he dweltH7931 by the oaks of MamreH4471, the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and brotherH251 of AnerH6063; and these were confederate with AbramH87. 14And when AbramH87 heardH8085 that his brotherH251 was takenH7617 captiveH7617, he led forth his trained men, born in his houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteen, and pursuedH7291 as far as DanH1835. 15And he dividedH2505 himself against them by nightH3915, he and his servantsH5650, and smote them, and pursuedH7291 them unto Hobah, which is on the left handH8040 of DamascusH1834. 16And he broughtH7725 backH7725 all the goods, and alsoH1571 broughtH7725 backH7725 his brotherH251 LotH3876, and his goods, and the womenH802 alsoH1571, and the peopleH5971.
