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.

And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

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

And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread 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 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 deliuered thine enemies into thine hand. And Abram gaue him tythe of all.

And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes 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 unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

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 have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and 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 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 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.

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.
