Genesis 14:13-16

13Then an escapee came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the Oaks1 of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty2 to Abram. 14And when Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan.

15During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. 16He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people.
