Genesis 14
And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king
of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor
king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,
Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa
king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama,
and against Semeber king of Seboim, and against the
king of Bala, which is Segor.
All these came together into the woodland vale, which
now is the salt sea.
For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and
in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.
And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the
kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim
in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the
Emim in Save of Cariathaim.
And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to
the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.
And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat,
the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of
the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.
And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and
the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king
of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves
against them in battle array in the woodland vale:
To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites,
and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar,
and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five.
Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the
king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their
backs and were overthrown there: and they that remained
fled to the mountain.
And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and
Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their
way:
And Lot also, the son of Abram's brother, who dwelt
in Sodom, and his substance.
And behold one that had escaped told Abram the Hebrew,
who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother
of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made
league with Abram.
Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother
Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his
house, three hundred and eighteen well appointed: and
pursued them to Dan.
And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the
night: and defeated them, and pursued them as far as
Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother,
with his substance, the women also the people.
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he
returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of
the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which
is the king's vale.
But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread
and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,
Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most
high God, who created heaven and earth.
And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection
the enemies are in thy hands. And he gace him the tithes
of all.
And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons,
and the rest take to thyself.
And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God
the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,
That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet,
I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou
say I have enriched Abram:
Except such things as the young men have eaten, and
the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol,
and Mambre: these shall take their shares.
