Darby Bible

1And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AmraphelH569 the kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, AriochH746 the kingH4428 of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 the kingH4428 of nationsH1471, 2[that] they madeH6213 warH4421 with Bera the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and with Birsha the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, Shinab the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and Shemeber the kingH4428 of Zeboim, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106, which is ZoarH6820. 3All these were joinedH2266 in the vale of SiddimH7708, which is the saltH4417 seaH3220. 4Twelve yearsH8141 had they servedH5647 Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth yearH8141 they rebelledH4775. 5And in the fourteenth yearH8141 cameH935 Chedorlaomer and the kingsH4428 that were with him, and smote the RephaimH7497 in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim, 6and the Horites on their mount SeirH8165, to El-Paran, which is by the wildernessH4057. 7And they returnedH7725, and cameH935 to En-mishpat, which is KadeshH6946, and smote all the countryH7704 of the Amalekites, and alsoH1571 the AmoritesH567 that dweltH3427 at Hazazon-TamarH2688. 8And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 and the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, and the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and the kingH4428 of Zeboim, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106, which is ZoarH6820, wentH3318 out, and they joined battleH4421 with them in the vale of SiddimH7708, 9with Chedorlaomer the kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 the kingH4428 of nationsH1471, and AmraphelH569 the kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, and AriochH746 the kingH4428 of EllasarH495 — fourH702 kingsH4428 with the fiveH2568. 10And the vale of SiddimH7708 was full of pitsH875 of asphalt. And the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and fellH5307 there: and they that remainedH7604 fledH5127 to the mountainH2022. 11And they tookH3947 all the propertyH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and all their victuals, and departed. 12And they tookH3947 LotH3876 and his propertyH7399, Abram's brother's sonH1121, and departed. For he dweltH3427 in SodomH5467. 13And one who had escaped cameH935 and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680. And he dweltH7931 by the oaks of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, the brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and the brotherH251 of AnerH6063. And these were Abram's allies. 14And AbramH87 heardH8085 that his brotherH251 was takenH7617 captiveH7617; and he led out his trained [servants], born in his houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteen, and pursuedH7291 [them] as far as DanH1835. 15And he dividedH2505 himself against them by nightH3915, he and his servantsH5650, and smote them, and pursuedH7291 them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of DamascusH1834. 16And he broughtH7725 backH7725 all the propertyH7399, and broughtH7725 again his brotherH251 LotH3876 and his propertyH7399, and the womenH802 alsoH1571, and the peopleH5971. 17And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 wentH3318 out to meet him after he had returnedH7725 from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kingsH4428 that were with him, into the valleyH6010 of ShavehH7740, which is the king's valleyH6010. 18And Melchisedec kingH4428 of SalemH8004 broughtH3318 out breadH3899 and wineH3196. And he was priestH3548 of the Most High 1GodH410. 19And he blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be AbramH87 of the Most High 2GodH410, possessor of heavensH8064 and earthH776. 20And blessedH1288 be the Most High 3GodH410, who has delivered thine enemies into thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 him the tenthH4643 of all. 21And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 saidH559 to AbramH87, GiveH5414 me the soulsH5315, and takeH3947 the propertyH7399 for thyself. 22And AbramH87 saidH559 to the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, I have liftedH7311 up my handH3027 to Jehovah, the Most HighH7311 4GodH410, possessor of heavensH8064 and earthH776, 23if from a threadH2339 even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I takeH3947 [anything]...; that thou mayest not sayH559, I have madeH6238 AbramH87 richH6238; 24save onlyH7535 that which the youngH5288 menH376 have eatenH398, and the portionH2506 of the menH376 that wentH1980 with me, AnerH6063, EshcolH812, and MamreH4471, let them takeH3947 their portionH2506.
