RF GEN 14:1 War of Abraham with the Five Kings.
It was now in the reign of Amrafel, king of Shinar,1 Ariok, king of Ellassar, Kedarlaomer, king of Elam,2 and Thidal, king of the Gentiles,3
RF GEN 14:2 and they waged war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Bersha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and king Bela of Zoar.
RF GEN 14:3 All these were defeated in the valley of Siddim (now known as the Salt Sea).
RF GEN 14:4 They served Kedarlaomer for twelve years; but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
RF GEN 14:5 Accordingly, in the fourteenth year, Kedarlaomer and his allied kings defeated the Refaim at Ashteroth's Horn, and the Zuzim at Ham along with them, and the Emim at the Devil's Horns,4
RF GEN 14:6 and the Horites in the mountains of Seir, as far as the pastures which adjoin the desert.
RF GEN 14:7 They then returned and came to the Well of Justice5 and conquered all the plain of Amalachites, and also the Amorites who inhabited the palm groves.
RF GEN 14:8 The king of Sodom accordingly went out with the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and king Bela of Zoar; and they commenced hostilities in the valley of Siddim
RF GEN 14:9 with Kedarlaomer king of Elam, and Thidal king of the Gentiles, and Amrafel king of Shinar, and Ariok king of Ellassar—four kings against five.
RF GEN 14:10 The valley of Siddim, however, was full of petroleum pits, and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah took flight and fell there; and the Hillmen pursued,
RF GEN 14:11 and seized all the wealth of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole of their stores and marched off.
RF GEN 14:12 They also took Lot, the nephew of Abram, and his chattels when they marched, for he resided in Sodom.
RF GEN 14:13 A fugitive then came and reported to Abram, the Colonist, who had settled at the Oakwoods of Mamrah, the Amorite, the brother of Ashkol, and brother of Aner, who were confederate chiefs with Abram.
RF GEN 14:14 When Abram heard that they had taken captive his relative, he then mustered the trained youths of his own family, to the number of three hundred and eighteen, and pursued to punish them;
RF GEN 14:15 and overtook them in the night-time, and he and his followers defeated and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the north of Damascus.
RF GEN 14:16 And he recovered all the property, as well as Lot his relative, and his property, together with the men and the people.
RF GEN 14:17 The king of Sodom then met him to congratulate him after his return from defeating Kedarlaomer, and the kings who were with him at the Devil's valley.6
RF GEN 14:18 Melchisedec, also, king of Salem, came out to them with wine; and he was a priest of ALMIGHTY GOD.
RF GEN 14:19 And he gave him his blessing, and said: "ALMIGHTY GOD, Creator of Heaven and Earth, bless Abram;
RF GEN 14:20 and you thank the Most High who gave your enemies into your hand." He then gave to him a tenth of all the spoil.
RF GEN 14:21 The king of Sodom also said to Abram, "You have given me my life, so take all the wealth to yourself."
RF GEN 14:22 But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted my hand to the EVER-LIVING GOD ALMIGHTY, the Maker of Heaven and Earth,
RF GEN 14:23 against taking even a shoestring, or from taking anything that is yours, so that you may not say, 'I have made Abram rich;'
RF GEN 14:24 except what the soldiers have eaten, and the share of the men who came with me, Aner, Ashkol, and Mamrah—allow them to take their share."
