Genesis 14:7-17

7And they returnedH7725, and cameH935 toH413 En–mishpatH5880, which is KadeshH6946, and smoteH5221 all the countryH7704 of the AmalekitesH6003, and also the AmoritesH567, that dweltH3427 in Hazezon–tamarH2688. 8And there went outH3318 the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, and the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and the kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (the sameH1931 is ZoarH6820;) and they joinedH6186 battleH4421 with them in the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708; 9With ChedorlaomerH3540 the kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and with TidalH8413 kingH4428 of nationsH1471, and AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, and AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495; fourH702 kingsH4428 with fiveH2568. 10And the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708 was full ofH875 tarpitsH2564H875; and the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and fellH5307 there; and they that remainedH7604 fledH5127 to the mountainH2022. 11And they tookH3947 all the goodsH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and all their victualsH400, and went their wayH3212. 12And they tookH3947 LotH3876, Abram’sH87 brother’sH251 sonH1121, who dweltH3427 in SodomH5467, and his goodsH7399, and departedH3212.

13And there cameH935 one that had escapedH6412, and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680; for he dweltH7931 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and brotherH251 of AnerH6063: and these were confederateH1285H1167 with AbramH87.1 14And when AbramH87 heardH8085 that his brotherH251 was taken captiveH7617, he armedH7324 his trainedH2593 servants, bornH3211 in his own houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteenH8083H6240, and pursuedH7291 them unto DanH1835.23 15And he dividedH2505 himself against them, he and his servantsH5650, by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 them, and pursuedH7291 them unto HobahH2327, which is on the left handH8040 of DamascusH1834. 16And he brought backH7725 all the goodsH7399, and also brought againH7725 his brotherH251 LotH3876, and his goodsH7399, and the womenH802 also, and the peopleH5971.

17And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him afterH310 his returnH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of ChedorlaomerH3540, and of the kingsH4428 that were with him, at the valleyH6010 of ShavehH7740, whichH1931 is the king’sH4428 daleH6010.
