Genesis 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,

And in the dayes of Amraphel King of Shinar, Arioch King of Ellasar, Chedor-laomer King of Elam, and Tidal king of the 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.

These men made warre with Bera King of Sodom, and with Birsha King of Gomorah, Shinab King of Admah, and Shemeber King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela, which is Zoar.

3 All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.

All these ioyned together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt Sea.

4 For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.

Twelue yeere were they subiect to Chedor-laomer, but in the thirteenth yeere they rebelled.

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.

And in the fourteenth yeere came Chedor-laomer, and the Kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaueh Kiriathaim,

6 And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.

And the Horites in their mount Seir, vnto the plaine of Paran, which is by the wildernesse.

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.

And they returned and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the countrey of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelled in Hazezon-tamar.

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:

Then went out the King of Sodom, and the King of Gomorah, and the King of Admah, and the King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela, which is Zoar: and they ioyned battell with them in the vale of Siddim:

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.

To wit, with Chedor-laomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar: foure Kings against fiue.

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.

Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits, and the Kings of Sodom and Gomorah fled and fell there: and ye residue fled to the mountaine.

11 And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:

Then they tooke all the substance of Sodom and Gomorah, and al their vitailes and went their way.

12 And Lot also, the son of Abram’s brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.

They tooke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and his substance (for he dwelt at Sodom) and departed.

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.

Then came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Ebrew, which dwelt in the plaine of Mamre ye Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, which were confederat 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.

When Abram heard that his brother was taken, he brought forth of them that were borne and brought vp in his house, three hundreth and eighteene, and pursued them vnto 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.

Then he, and his seruants deuided them selues against them by night, and smote them and pursued them vnto Hobah, which is on the left side of Damascus,

16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also and the people.

And he recouered all the substance, and also brought againe 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 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.

After that he returned from the slaughter of Chedor-laomer, and of the Kings that were with him, came the King of Sodom foorth to meete him in the valley of Shaueh, which is the Kings dale.

18 But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,

And Melchi-zedek King of Shalem brought foorth bread and wine: and he was a Priest of the most high God.

19 Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.

Therefore he blessed him, saying, Blessed art thou, Abram, of God most high possessour of heauen and earth,

20 And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gave him the tithes of all.

And blessed be the most high God, which hath deliuered thine enemies into thine hand. And Abram gaue him tythe of all.

21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.

Then the King of Sodom saide to Abram, Giue me the persons, and take the goodes to thy selfe.

22 And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,

And Abram said to the King of Sodom, I haue lift vp mine hand vnto the Lord the most hie God possessor of heauen 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:

That I will not take of all that is thine, so much as a threde or shoolatchet, lest thou shouldest say, I haue made Abram riche,

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.

Saue onely that, which the yong men haue eaten, and the partes of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre: let them take their partes.
