Gene LITV 14:8  And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. And they set the battle with them in the valley of Siddim,
Gene LITV 14:9  with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal the king of the nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar; four kings with the five.

Gene LITV 14:20  and blessed be the most high God, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tithe of all.

Gene LITV 14:22  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the most high God, the possessor of Heaven and earth,
Gene LITV 14:23  that I will not take from all that is yours, from a thread to a shoe latchet, and that you may not say, I have made Abram rich.
Gene LITV 14:24  nothing for me; only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
