Genesis 14:11-16

11Then they took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply, and departed. 12They also took Lot, 1Abram’s nephew, and his possessions and departed, 2for he was living in Sodom.

13Then 3a survivor came and told Abram the 4Hebrew. Now he was residing by the 56oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and they were 78allies with Abram. 14When Abram heard that 9his relative had been taken captive, he 10led out his trained men, 11born in his house, numbering 318, and went in pursuit as far as 12Dan. 15Then 13he divided 14his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and 15defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is 16north of 17Damascus. 16He 18brought back all the possessions, and also brought back 19his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the other people.
