Jubilee2000 - Genesis - 14

14:1  And it came to pass in [those] days [that] Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of the Gentiles

14:2  made war against Bera king of Sodom and against Birsha king of Gomorrah and against Shinab king of Admah and against Shemeber king of Zeboiim and [against] the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

14:3  All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

14:4  Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

14:5  And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that [were] with him came and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim and the Zuzims in Ham and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim

14:6  and the Horites in their mount Seir unto the plain of Paran, which [is] by the wilderness.

14:7  And they returned and came to Enmishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smote all the works of the Amalekites and also the Amorites that dwelt in Hazezontamar.

14:8  And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (the same [is] Zoar) went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim,

14:9  that is, against Chedorlaomer the king of Elam and Tidal king of the Gentiles and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar: four kings against five.

14:10  And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits, and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell there; and those that remained fled to the mountain.

14:11  And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions and went away.

14:12  And they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods and departed.

14:13  And one came that had escaped and told Abram [the] Hebrew, who dwelt among the terebinth trees of Mamre [the] Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner; and these [were] confederate with Abram.

14:14  And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his tried and experienced [servants], born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan.

14:15  And he and his servants poured themselves out against them by night and smote them and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is] on the left hand of Damascus.

14:16  And he recovered all the goods and also brought again his brother Lot and his goods and the women also and the people.

14:17  And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and of the kings that [were] with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the valley of the King.

14:18  Then Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he [was] the priest of the most high God.

14:19  And he blessed him and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the most high God, possessor of the heavens and of the earth;

14:20  and blessed be the most high God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And [Abram] gave him tithes of all.

14:21  Then the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons and take the goods to thyself.

14:22  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of the heavens and of the earth,

14:23  that I will not [take] from a thread even to a shoelatchet; I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou should say, I have made Abram rich,

14:24  except only that which the young men have eaten and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, who shall take their portion.:
