1 In those days Amraphelking of Shinar,14:1 That is, Babylonia; also in verse 9Ariochking of Ellasar, Chedorlaomerking of Elam, and Tidalking of Goiim2 went to war against Beraking of Sodom, Birshaking of Gomorrah, Shinabking of Admah, Shemeberking of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela(that is, Zoar).
3 The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim(that is, the Salt Sea14:3 That is, the Dead Sea). 4 For twelve years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomerand the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim, 6 and the Horites in the area of Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert. 7 Then they turned back to invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela(that is, Zoar) marched out and arrayed themselves for battle in the Valley of Siddim14:8 That is, the Valley of the Dead Sea9 against Chedorlaomerking of Elam, Tidalking of Goiim, Amraphelking of Shinar, and Ariochking of Ellasar— four kings against five.
Abram Rescues Lot
10 Now the Valley of Siddimwas full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodomand Gomorrahfled, some men fell into the pits, but the survivors fled to the hill country.
11 The four kings seized all the goods of Sodomand Gomorrahand all their food, and they went on their way. 12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lotand his possessions, since Lotwas living in Sodom.
13 Then an escapee came and reported this to Abramthe Hebrew. Now Abramwas living near the Oaks14:13 Or Terebinths or Great Treesof Mamrethe Amorite, a brother of Eshcoland Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty14:13 Forms of the Hebrew berit are translated in most passages as covenant.to Abram. 14 And when Abramheard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan.
15 During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. 16 He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lotand his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people.
Melchizedek Blesses Abram
17 After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomerand the kings allied with him, the king of Sodomwent out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh(that is, the King’s Valley).
18 Then Melchizedekking of Salembrought out bread and wine — since he was priest of God Most High14:18 Hebrew El-Elyon; also in verses 19, 20, and 22; cited in Hebrews 7:1— 19 and he blessed Abramand said:
"Blessed be Abramby God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth,
20 and blessed be God Most High,
who has delivered your enemies into your hand."
Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
21 The king of Sodomsaid to Abram, "Give me the people, but take the goods for yourself."
22 But Abramreplied to the king of Sodom, "I have raised my hand to the LORD God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 23 that I will not accept even a thread, or a strap of a sandal, or anything that belongs to you, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abramrich.’ 24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share for the men who went with me— Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. They may take their portion."
