Genesis 14:8-16
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 1the valley of Siddim, 9against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of 2Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar--four kings against five. 10Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and 3the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell 4into them. But those who survived fled to the 5hill country. 11Then they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply, and departed. 12They also took Lot, 6Abram’s nephew, and his possessions and departed, 7for he was living in Sodom.
13Then 8a fugitive came and told Abram the 9Hebrew. Now he was 10living by the 1112oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were 1314allies with Abram. 14When Abram heard that 15his 16relative had been taken captive, he 17led out his trained men, 18born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as 19Dan. 1520He divided 21his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and 22defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is 23north of 24Damascus. 16He 25brought back all the goods, and also brought back 26his 27relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people.
