1	And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
			2	That these made# war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
			3	All these were joined together# in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
			4	Twelve# years they served# # Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth# year they rebelled# .
			5	And in the fourteenth# year came# Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote# the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim, [Shaveh...: or, The plain of Kiriathaim]
			6	And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness. [Elparan: or, The plain of Paran]
			7	And they returned# , and came# to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote# all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt# in Hazezontamar.
			8	And there went out# 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;) and they joined# battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
			9	With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
			10	And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits# ; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled# , and fell# there; and they that remained# fled# to the mountain.
			11	And they took# all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way# .
			12	And they took# Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt# in Sodom, and his goods, and departed# .
			13	And there came# one that had escaped, and told# Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt# in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate# with Abram. [plain: Heb. plains]
			14	And when Abram heard# that his brother was taken captive# , he armed# his trained servants , born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen# , and pursued# them unto Dan. [armed: or, led forth] [trained: or, instructed]
			15	And he divided# himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote# them, and pursued# them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
			16	And he brought back# all the goods, and also brought again# his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
			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 king's dale.
			18	And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth# bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
			19	And he blessed# him, and said# , Blessed# be Abram of the most high God, possessor# of heaven and earth:
			20	And blessed# be the most high God, which hath delivered# thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave# him tithes of all.
			21	And the king of Sodom said# unto Abram, Give# me the persons, and take# the goods to thyself. [persons: Heb. souls]
			22	And Abram said# to the king of Sodom, I have lift up# mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor# of heaven and earth,
			23	That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet# , and that I will not take# any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say# , I have made# Abram rich# :
			24	Save only that which the young men have eaten# , and the portion of the men which went# with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take# their portion.
