Genesis 14:13-16

13Then a soldier who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew what had happened. He was living next to the oak trees belonging to Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner. (These men were Abram’s allies.)

14When Abram heard that his nephew had been captured, he armed his 318 trained men, born in his own household, and pursued the four kings all the way to Dan.

15He split up his men to attack them at night. He defeated them, pursuing them all the way to Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

16He brought back everything they had, including women and soldiers. He also brought back his relative Lot and his possessions.
