Genesis 14

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

And it came to pass in the reign of Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, that Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations,

2 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.

made war with Balla king of Sodom, and with Barsa king of Gomorrha, and with Sennaar, king of Adama, and with Symobor king of Seboim and the king of Balac, this is Segor.

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

All these met with one consent at the salt valley; this is [now] the sea of salt.

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

Twelve years they served Chodollogomor, and the thirteenth year they revolted.

5 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,

And in the fourteenth year came Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, and cut to pieces the giants in Astaroth, and Carnain, and strong nations with them, and the Ommaeans in the city Save.

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

And the Chorrhaeans in the mountains of Seir, to the turpentine tree of Pharan, which is in the desert.

7 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.

And having turned back they came to the well of judgement; this is Cades, and they cut in pieces all the princes of Amalec, and the Amorites dwelling in Asasonthamar.

8 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:

And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrha, and king of Adama, and king of Seboim, and king of Balac, this is Segor, and they set themselves in array against them for war in the salt valley,

9 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.

against Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations, and Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, the four kings against the five.

10 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.

Now the salt valley [consists of] slime-pits. And the king of Sodom fled and the king of Gomorrha, and they fell in there: and they that were left fled to the mountain country.

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

And they took all the cavalry of Sodom and Gomorrha, and all their provisions, and departed.

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

And they took also Lot the son of Abram's brother, and his baggage, and departed, for he lived in Sodom.

13 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.

And one of them that had been rescued came and told Abram the Hebrew; and he lived by the oak of Mamre the Amorite the brother of Eschol, and the brother of Aunan, who were confederates with Abram.

14 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.

And Abram having heard that Lot his nephew had been taken captive, numbered his own home-born [servants] three hundred and eighteen, and pursued after them to Dan.

15 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,

And he came upon them by night, he and his servants, and he struck them and pursued them as far as Choba, which is on the left of Damascus.

16 And he recouered all the substance, and also brought againe his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also and the people.

And he recovered all the cavalry of Sodom, and he recovered Lot his nephew, and all his possessions, and the women and the people.

17 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.

And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, to the valley of Saby; this was the plain of the kings.

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

And Melchisedec king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.

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

And he blessed Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven and earth,

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

and blessed be the most high God who delivered your enemies into your power. And Abram gave him the tithe of all.

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

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the horses to yourself.

22 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,

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I will stretch out my hand to the Lord the most high God, who made the heaven and the earth,

23 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,

[that] I will not take from all your goods from a string to a shoe-latchet, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich.

24 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.

Except what things the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Eschol, Aunan, Mambre, these shall take a portion.
