Genesis 14:1-9

1And it came about in the days of Amraphel king of 1Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of 2Elam, and Tidal king of 3Goiim,

2that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of 4Admah, and Shemeber king of 5Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, 6Zoar).

3All these 7came as allies to 8the valley of Siddim (that is, 9the Salt Sea).

4Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but the thirteenth year they rebelled.

5In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, came and 10defeated the 11Rephaim in 12Ashteroth-karnaim and the Zuzim in Ham and the Emim in 1314Shaveh-kiriathaim,

6and the 15Horites in their Mount Seir, as far as 16El-paran, which is by the wilderness.

7Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, 17Kadesh), and 18conquered all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who lived in 19Hazazon-tamar.

8And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they arrayed for battle against them in 20the valley of Siddim,

9against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of 21Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar--four kings against five.
