chapter 14
1
And it
came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of
Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,
2 Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against
Bersa king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against Semeber
king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor.
3 All these came together into the woodland vale, which
now is the salt sea.
4 For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and
in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the
kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and
the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim.
6 And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to
the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.
7 And they returned, and came to the fountain of
Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites,
and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.
8 And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and
the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is
Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array in the
woodland vale:
9 To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites,
and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of
Pontus: four kings against five.
10 Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And
the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs and were
overthrown there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 And they took all the substance of the Sodomites,
and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:
12 And Lot also, the son of Abram's brother, who dwelt
in Sodom, and his substance.
13 And behold one that had escaped told Abram the
Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol,
and the brother of Aner: for these had made league with Abram.
14 Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother
Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and
eighteen well appointed: and pursued them to Dan.
15 And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the
night: and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hoba, which is on the left
hand of Damascus.
16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his
brother, with his substance, the women also the people.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he
returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with
him in the vale of Save, which is the king's vale.
18 But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth
bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,
19 Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most
high God, who created heaven and earth.
20 And blessed be the most high God, by whose
protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gace him the tithes of all.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the
persons, and the rest take to thyself.
22 And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord
God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 That from the very woof thread unto the shoe
latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have
enriched Abram:
24 Except such things as the young men have eaten, and
the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall
take their shares.
