3all the latter joined forces at the Valley of Siddim, now the Dead Sea.

5In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim at Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim at Ham, the Emim at Shaveh-kiriathaim,

7On their way back they came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and subdued all the territory of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.

8Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth and engaged them in battle in the Valley of Siddim:

9King Chedorlaomer of Elam, King Tidal of Goiim, King Amraphel of Shinar, and King Arioch of Ellasar—four kings against those five.

10Now the Valley of Siddim was dotted with bitumen pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah, in their flight, threw themselves into them, while the rest escaped to the hill country.

11[The invaders] seized all the wealth of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.

12They also took Lot, the son of Avram's brother, and his possessions, and departed; for he had settled in Sodom.

13A fugitive brought the news to Avram the Hebrew, who was dwelling at the terebinths of Mamre the Amorite, kinsman of Eshkol and Aner, these being Avram's allies.

14When Avram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he mustered his retainers, born into his household, numbering three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

15At night, he and his servants deployed against them and defeated them; and he pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

16He brought back all the possessions; he also brought back his kinsman Lot and his possessions, and the women and the rest of the people.

17When he returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh, which is the Valley of the King.

18And King Melchizedek of Shalem brought out bread and wine; he was a priest of Hashem Most High.

19He blessed him, saying, “Blessed be Avram of Hashem Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

20And blessed be Hashem Most High, Who has delivered your foes into your hand.” And [Avram] gave him a tenth of everything.

21Then the king of Sodom said to Avram, “Give me the persons, and take the possessions for yourself.”

22But Avram said to the king of Sodom, “I swear to Hashem, Hashem Most High, Creator of heaven and earth:

23I will not take so much as a thread or a sandal strap of what is yours; you shall not say, ‘It is I who made Avram rich.'
