1 And it came to pass in the days3117 of Amraphel569 king4428 of Shinar8152, Arioch746 king4428 of Ellasar495, Chedorlaomer3540 king4428 of Elam5867, and Tidal8413 king4428 of nations1471; 2 That these made6213 war4421 with854 Bera1298 king4428 of Sodom5467, and with Birsha1306 king4428 of Gomorrah6017, Shinab8134 king4428 of Admah126, and Shemeber8038 king4428 of Zeboiim6636, and the king4428 of Bela1106, which is1931 Zoar6820. 3 All these were joined together2266 in the vale6010 of Siddim7708, which1931 is the salt4417 sea3220. 4 Twelve6240 8147 years8141 they served5647 853 Chedorlaomer3540, and in the thirteenth7969 6240 year8141 they rebelled4775. 5 And in the fourteenth6240 702 year8141 came935 Chedorlaomer3540, and the kings4428 that were with him, and smote5221 the Rephaims7497 in Ashteroth Karnaim6255, and the Zuzims2104 in Ham1990, and the Emims368 in Shaveh Kiriathaim7741,¹ 6 And the Horites2752 in their mount2042 Seir8165, unto Elparan364, which is by5921 the wilderness4057.² 7 And they returned7725, and came935 to413 Enmishpat5880, which is Kadesh6946, and smote5221 all the country7704 of the Amalekites6003, and also the Amorites567, that dwelt3427 in Hazezontamar2688. 8 And there went out3318 the king4428 of Sodom5467, and the king4428 of Gomorrah6017, and the king4428 of Admah126, and the king4428 of Zeboiim6636, and the king4428 of Bela1106 (the same1931 is Zoar6820;) and they joined6186 battle4421 with them in the vale6010 of Siddim7708; 9 With Chedorlaomer3540 the king4428 of Elam5867, and with Tidal8413 king4428 of nations1471, and Amraphel569 king4428 of Shinar8152, and Arioch746 king4428 of Ellasar495; four702 kings4428 with five2568. 10 And the vale6010 of Siddim7708 was full of875 slimepits875 2564; and the kings4428 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 fled5127, and fell5307 there; and they that remained7604 fled5127 to the mountain2022. 11 And they took3947 all the goods7399 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017, and all their victuals400, and went their way3212. 12 And they took3947 Lot3876, Abram's87 brother's251 son1121, who dwelt3427 in Sodom5467, and his goods7399, and departed3212.

13 And there came935 one that had escaped6412, and told5046 Abram87 the Hebrew5680; for he dwelt7931 in the plain436 of Mamre4471 the Amorite567, brother251 of Eshcol812, and brother251 of Aner6063: and these were confederate1167 1285 with Abram87. 14 And when Abram87 heard8085 that his brother251 was taken captive7617, he armed7324 his trained2593 servants, born3211 in his own house1004, three7969 hundred3967 and eighteen6240 8083, and pursued7291 them unto Dan1835.³⁴ 15 And he divided2505 himself against them, he and his servants5650, by night3915, and smote5221 them, and pursued7291 them unto Hobah2327, which is on the left hand8040 of Damascus1834. 16 And he brought back7725 all the goods7399, and also brought again7725 his brother251 Lot3876, and his goods7399, and the women802 also, and the people5971.

17 And the king4428 of Sodom5467 went out3318 to meet7125 him after310 his return7725 from the slaughter5221 of Chedorlaomer3540, and of the kings4428 that were with him, at the valley6010 of Shaveh7740, which1931 is the king's4428 dale6010. 18 And Melchizedek4442 king4428 of Salem8004 brought forth3318 bread3899 and wine3196: and he was the priest3548 of the most high5945 God410. 19 And he blessed1288 him, and said559, Blessed1288 be Abram87 of the most high5945 God410, possessor7069 of heaven8064 and earth776: 20 And blessed1288 be the most high5945 God410, which hath delivered4042 thine enemies6862 into thy hand3027. And he gave5414 him tithes4643 of all.

21 And the king4428 of Sodom5467 said559 unto Abram87, Give5414 me the persons5315, and take3947 the goods7399 to thyself.⁵ 22 And Abram87 said559 to the king4428 of Sodom5467, I have lift up7311 mine hand3027 unto the LORD3068, the most high5945 God410, the possessor7069 of heaven8064 and earth776, 23 That I will not518 take from a thread2339 even to a shoelatchet5275 8288, and that I will not518 take3947 any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say559, I have made6238 Abram87 rich6238: 24 Save1107 only that which834 the young men5288 have eaten398, and the portion2506 of the men582 which went1980 with854 me, Aner6063, Eshcol812, and Mamre4471; let them1992 take3947 their portion2506.
