War of the Kings: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

Genesis, Chapter 14, verses 1-16

¹ And it came about in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of^aGoiim, ² that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). ³ All these^bcame as allies to the valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea). ⁴ Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but the thirteenth year they rebelled. ⁵ In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, came and^cdefeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim and the Zuzim in Ham and the Emim in^dShaveh-kiriathaim, ⁶ and the Horites in their Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is by the wilderness. ⁷ Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and^econquered all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who lived in Hazazon-tamar. ⁸ And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they arrayed for battle against them in the valley of Siddim, ⁹ against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of^fGoiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. ¹⁰ Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell^ginto them. But those who survived fled to the hill country. ¹¹ Then they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply, and departed. ¹² They also took Lot, Abram’s nephew, and his possessions and departed, for he was living in Sodom.

¹³ Then^ha fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he wasⁱliving by the^joaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were^kallies with Abram. ¹⁴ When Abram heard that his^lrelative had been taken captive, he^mled out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. ¹⁵ He dividedⁿhis forces against them by night, he and his servants, and^odefeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is^pnorth of Damascus. ¹⁶ He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his^qrelative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people.
