God’s Word Translation
Genesis 14:2-8
2went to war against ⌞five kings⌟—King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
3The five kings joined forces and met in the valley of Siddim (that is, the Dead Sea).
4For 12 years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and his allies came and defeated the Rephaim at Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim at Ham, the Emim at Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6and the Horites in the hill country of Seir, going as far as El Paran on the edge of the desert.
7On their way back, they came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites and also the Amorites who were living at Hazazon Tamar.
8Then the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and prepared for battle in the valley of Siddim.
