And it happened in the days of Amrafel, king of Shinar, Ariok, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of nations.

They made war against Bera, king of Sedom, and against Birsha, king of Amorah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Tsivim, and the king of Bela, which is Tsar.

All these joined together in the valley of Siddim, which is the Salt Sea.

Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

And in the fourteenth year Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Refaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Eim in Shaveh Kiriathaim.

And the Horim in their mountain Seir, as far as El Paran, which is by the desert.

And they turned back and came to Ein Mishpat, which is Qadesh, and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Emorites who were dwelling in Hazazon Tamar.

And the king of Sedom went out, and the king of Amorah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Tsivim, and the king of Bela, which is Tsar; and they arrayed battle against them in the valley of Siddim.

Against Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of nations, and Amrafel, king of Shinar, and Ariok, king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

And the valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits, and the king of Sedom and Amorah fled, and fell there, and the survivors fled to the mountain.

And they took all the goods of Sedom and Amorah, and all their food, and went away.

And they took Lot and his goods, the son of the brother of Avram, and went away, and he was dwelling in Sedom.

And a survivor came and told Avram the Hebrew, and he was dwelling by the terebinths of Mamre the Emorite, brother of Eshkol and brother of Aner, and they were allies of Avram.

And Avram heard that his relative had been captured, and he trained his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.

And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them as far as Khovah, which is to the north of Damascus.

And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back Lot his relative and his goods, and also the women and the people.

And the king of Sedom went out to meet him, after his return from striking Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, to the valley of Shaveh, which is the King's Valley.

And Malkitsedeq, king of Shalem, brought out bread and wine, and he was a priest to El Elyon.

And he blessed him and said, 'Blessed be Avram to El Elyon, possessor of heaven and earth.

And blessed be El Elyon, who delivered your enemies into your hand.' And he gave him a tenth of all.

And the king of Sedom said to Avram, 'Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself.'

And Avram said to the king of Sedom, 'I have lifted my hand to יהוה, El Elyon, possessor of heaven and earth.

If from a thread to a sandal strap, if I take anything of yours, so that you do not say, 'I have made Avram rich.'

Except only what the young men ate, and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre; they shall take their portion.'
