1And it cameH1961 about in the daysH3117 of AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of 1ShinarH8152, AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495, ChedorlaomerH3540 kingH4428 of 2ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 kingH4428 of 3GoiimH1472, 2that they madeH6213 warH4421 with BeraH1298 kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and with BirshaH1306 kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, ShinabH8134 kingH4428 of 4AdmahH126, and ShemeberH8038 kingH4428 of 5ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (that is, 6ZoarH6820). 3AllH3605 theseH428 7cameH2266 as alliesH2266 to 8the valleyH6010 of SiddimH7708 (that is, 9the SaltH4417 SeaH3220). 4TwelveH8147H6240 yearsH8141 they had servedH5647 ChedorlaomerH3540, but the thirteenthH7969H6240 yearH8141 they rebelledH4775. 5In the fourteenthH702H6240 yearH8141 ChedorlaomerH3540 and the kingsH4428 that were with him, cameH935 and 10defeatedH5221 the 11RephaimH7497 in 12Ashteroth-karnaimH6255 and the ZuzimH2104 in HamH1990 and the EmimH368 in 1314Shaveh-kiriathaimH7741, 6and the 15HoritesH2752 in their MountH2022 SeirH8165, as farH5704 as 16El-paranH364, whichH834 is by the wildernessH4057. 7Then they turnedH7725 backH7725 and cameH935 to En-mishpatH5880 (that is, 17KadeshH6946), and 18conqueredH5221 allH3605 the countryH7704 of the AmalekitesH6003, and alsoH1571 the AmoritesH567, who livedH3427 in 19Hazazon-tamarH2688. 8And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 and the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017 and the kingH4428 of AdmahH126 and the kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636 and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (that is, ZoarH6820) cameH3318 out; and they arrayedH6186 for battleH4421 againstH854 them in 20the valleyH6010 of SiddimH7708, 9againstH854 ChedorlaomerH3540 kingH4428 of ElamH5867 and TidalH8413 kingH4428 of 21GoiimH1472 and AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152 and AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495--fourH702 kingsH4428 againstH854 fiveH2568. 10Now the valleyH6010 of SiddimH7708 was full of tarH2564 pitsH875; and 22the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and they fellH5307 23into them. But those who survivedH7604 fledH5127 to the 24hillH2022 countryH2022. 11Then they tookH3947 allH3605 the goodsH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and allH3605 their foodH400 supplyH400, and departedH1980. 12They also tookH3947 LotH3876, 25Abram’sH87 nephewH1121H251, and his possessionsH7399 and departedH1980, 26for he was livingH3427 in SodomH5467.

13Then 27a fugitiveH6412 cameH935 and toldH5046 AbramH87 the 28HebrewH5680. Now he was 29livingH7931 by the 3031oaksH436 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812 and brotherH251 of AnerH6063, and theseH1992 were 3233alliesH1167H1285 with AbramH87. 14When AbramH87 heardH8085 that 34his 35relativeH251 had been takenH7617 captiveH7617, he 36ledH7385 out his trainedH2593 menH2593, 37bornH3211 in his houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteenH8083H6240, and wentH7291 in pursuitH7291 as farH5704 as 38DanH1835. 1539He dividedH2505 40his forces againstH5921 them by nightH3915, he and his servantsH5650, and 41defeatedH5221 them, and pursuedH7291 them as farH5704 as HobahH2327, whichH834 is 42northH8040 of 43DamascusH1834. 16He 44broughtH7725 backH7725 allH3605 the goodsH7399, and alsoH1571 broughtH7725 backH7725 45his 46relativeH251 LotH3876 with his possessionsH7399, and alsoH1571 the womenH802, and the peopleH5971.
