Genesis 14:7-17
7Then they turned backH7725 to invadeH935H413 En-mishpatH5880 (that isH1931, KadeshH6946), and they conqueredH5221 the wholeH3605 territoryH7704 of the AmalekitesH6003, asH1571 well as the AmoritesH567 who livedH3427 in Hazazon-tamarH2688.
8Then the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, the kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (that isH1931, ZoarH6820) marched outH3318 and arrayedH6186 themselvesH854 for battleH4421 in the ValleyH6010 of SiddimH77081 9againstH854 ChedorlaomerH3540 kingH4428 of ElamH5867, TidalH8413 kingH4428 of GoiimH1471, AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, and AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495—fourH702 kingsH4428 againstH854 fiveH2568.
10Now the ValleyH6010 of SiddimH7708 was full of tarH2564 pitsH875, and as the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, some men fellH5307 intoH8033 the pits, but the survivorsH7604 fledH5127 to the hill countryH2022.
11The four kings seizedH3947 allH3605 the goodsH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and allH3605 their foodH400, and they went on their wayH1980. 12They also carried offH3947 Abram’sH87 nephewH1121H251 LotH3876 and his possessionsH7399, sinceH1931 Lot was livingH3427 in SodomH5467.
13Then an escapeeH6412 cameH935 and reportedH5046 this to AbramH87 the HebrewH5680. NowH1931 Abram was livingH7931 near the OaksH4362 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, a brotherH251 of EshcolH812 and AnerH6063, all of whomH1992 were boundH1167 by treatyH12853 to AbramH87. 14And when AbramH87 heardH8085 thatH3588 his relativeH251 had been capturedH7617, he mobilizedH7324 the 318H8083H6240H7969H3967 trained menH2593 bornH3211 in his householdH1004, and they set out in pursuitH7291 asH5704 far as DanH1835.
15During the nightH3915, Abram dividedH2505H5921 his forcesH5650 and routedH5221 Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing themH7291 as far asH5704 HobahH2327, northH8040 of DamascusH1834. 16He retrievedH7725 allH3605 the goodsH7399, as well asH1571 his relativeH251 LotH3876 and his possessionsH7399H7725, together withH1571 the womenH802 and the rest of the peopleH5971.
17AfterH310 Abram returnedH7725 from defeatingH5221 ChedorlaomerH3540 and the kingsH4428 allied with himH834H854, the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 went outH3318 to meet himH7122 inH413 the ValleyH6010 of ShavehH7740 (that isH1931, the King’sH4428 ValleyH6010).
