And it cameh1961 about in the daysh3117 of Amraphelh569 kingh4428 of  aShinarh8152, Ariochh746a kingh4428 of Ellasarh495, Chedorlaomerh3540 kingh4428 of  bElamh5867a, and Tidalh8413 kingh4428 of  1Goiimh1472b,

2

that they madeh6213a warh4421 with Berah1298 kingh4428 of Sodomh5467, and with Birshah1306 kingh4428 of Gomorrahh6017, Shinabh8134 kingh4428 of  aAdmahh126, and Shemeberh8038 kingh4428 of  bZeboiimh6636, and the kingh4428 of Belah1106b (that is,  cZoarh6820).

3

Allh3605 theseh428  1cameh2266 as alliesh2266 to  athe valleyh6010 of Siddimh7708 (that is,  bthe Salth4417 Seah3220).

4

Twelveh8147h6240 yearsh8141 they had servedh5647 Chedorlaomerh3540, but the thirteenthh7969h6240 yearh8141 they rebelledh4775.

5

In the fourteenthh702h6240 yearh8141 Chedorlaomerh3540 and the kingsh4428 that were with him, cameh935 and  1defeatedh5221 the  aRephaimh7497 in  bAshteroth-karnaimh6255 and the Zuzimh2104 in Hamh1990 and the Emimh368a in  2 cShaveh-kiriathaimh7741,

6

and the  aHoritesh2752 in their Mounth2022 Seirh8165, as farh5704 as  bEl-paranh364, whichh834 is by the wildernessh4057b.

7

Then they turnedh7725 backh7725 and cameh935 to En-mishpath5880 (that is,  aKadeshh6946), and  1conqueredh5221 allh3605 the countryh7704 of the Amalekitesh6003, and alsoh1571 the Amoritesh567, who livedh3427 in  bHazazon-tamarh2688.

8

And the kingh4428 of Sodomh5467 and the kingh4428 of Gomorrahh6017 and the kingh4428 of Admahh126 and the kingh4428 of Zeboiimh6636 and the kingh4428 of Belah1106b (that is, Zoarh6820) cameh3318 out; and they arrayedh6186a for battleh4421 againsth854 them in  athe valleyh6010 of Siddimh7708,

9

againsth854 Chedorlaomerh3540 kingh4428 of Elamh5867a and Tidalh8413 kingh4428 of  1Goiimh1472b and Amraphelh569 kingh4428 of Shinarh8152 and Ariochh746a kingh4428 of Ellasarh495--fourh702 kingsh4428 againsth854 fiveh2568.

10

Now the valleyh6010 of Siddimh7708 was full of tarh2564 pitsh875; and  athe kingsh4428 of Sodomh5467 and Gomorrahh6017 fledh5127, and they fellh5307  1into them. But those who survivedh7604 fledh5127 to the  bhillh2022 countryh2022.

11

Then they tookh3947 allh3605 the goodsh7399 of Sodomh5467 and Gomorrahh6017 and allh3605 their foodh400 supplyh400, and departedh1980.

12

They also tookh3947 Loth3876,  aAbram'sh87 nephewh1121h251, and his possessionsh7399 and departedh1980,  bfor he was livingh3427 in Sodomh5467.

13

Then  1a fugitiveh6412a cameh935 and toldh5046 Abramh87 the  aHebrewh5680. Now he was  2livingh7931 by the  3 boaksh436 of Mamreh4471 the Amoriteh567, brotherh251 of Eshcolh812 and brotherh251 of Anerh6063, and theseh1992a were  4 calliesh1167h1285 with Abramh87.

14

When Abramh87 heardh8085 that  ahis  1relativeh251 had been takenh7617 captiveh7617, he  2ledh7385a out his trainedh2593 menh2593,  bbornh3211 in his househ1004, threeh7969 hundredh3967 and eighteenh8083h6240, and wenth7291 in pursuith7291 as farh5704 as  cDanh1835.

15

 aHe dividedh2505a  1his forces againsth5921 them by nighth3915, he and his servantsh5650, and  2defeatedh5221 them, and pursuedh7291 them as farh5704 as Hobahh2327, whichh834 is  3northh8040 of  bDamascush1834.

16

He  abroughth7725 backh7725 allh3605 the goodsh7399, and alsoh1571 broughth7725 backh7725  bhis  1relativeh251 Loth3876 with his possessionsh7399, and alsoh1571 the womenh802, and the peopleh5971a.

17

Then afterh310 his returnh7725 from the  1defeath5221 of Chedorlaomerh3540 and the kingsh4428 whoh834 were with him,  athe kingh4428 of Sodomh5467 wenth3318 out to meeth7122 him at the valleyh6010 of Shavehh7740 (that is,  bthe King'sh4428 Valleyh6010).

18

And  aMelchizedekh4442 kingh4428 of Salemh8004 broughth3318 out  bbreadh3899 and wineh3196; now he was a  cpriesth3548 of  1Godh410 Mosth5945b Highh5945b.

19

He blessedh1288 him and saidh559, "Blessedh1288 be Abramh87 of  1Godh430 Mosth5945b Highh5945b,  2 aPossessorh7069 of heavenh8064 and earthh776;

20

And blessedh1288 be  1Godh430 Mosth5945b Highh5945b, Whoh834 has deliveredh4042 your enemiesh6862c into your handh3027."  aHe gaveh5414 him a tenthh4643 of allh3605.

21

The kingh4428 of Sodomh5467 saidh559 to Abramh87, "Giveh5414 the  1peopleh5315 to me and takeh3947 the goodsh7399 for yourself."

22

Abramh87 saidh559 to the kingh4428 of Sodomh5467, "I have  1swornh7311h3027 to the LORDh3068  2 aGodh430 Mosth5945b Highh5945b,  3 bpossessorh7069 of heavenh8064 and earthh776,

23

that  aI will not takeh3947 a threadh2339 or a sandalh5275 thongh8288 or anythingh3605 that is yours, for fear you would sayh559, `I have madeh6238 Abramh87 richh6238.'

24

1I will take nothingh1107 excepth1107 whath834 the youngh5288 menh5288 have eatenh398, and the shareh2506 of the menh376 whoh834 wenth1980 with me,  aAnerh6063, Eshcolh812, and Mamreh4471; let them takeh3947 their shareh2506."
