Genesis 14:8-16

8And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they lined up for battle against them in 1the Valley of Siddim, 9against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of 2Goiim, 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 possessions 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 survivor came and told Abram the 9Hebrew. Now he was residing by the 1011oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and they were 1213allies with Abram. 14When Abram heard that 14his relative had been taken captive, he 15led out his trained men, 16born in his house, numbering 318, and went in pursuit as far as 17Dan. 15Then 18he divided 19his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and 20defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is 21north of 22Damascus. 16He 23brought back all the possessions, and also brought back 24his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the other people.
