GENESIS CHAPTER FOURTEEN 1 Amraphel was the king of Shinar . Arioch was the king of Ellasar . Kedorlaomer was the king of Elam . And Tidal was the king of Goiim . 2 All these kings fought a war against Bera the king of Sodom , Birsha the king of Gomorrah , Shinab the king of Admah , Shemeber the king of Zeboiim , and the king of Bela . ( Bela is also called Zoar . ) 3 All these kings joined their armies in the Valley of Siddim . ( The Valley of Siddim is now the Salt Sea . ) 4 These kings had served Kedorlaomer for twelve years . But in the 13 th year they all rebelled against him . 5 So in the 14 th year , King Kedorlaomer and the kings with him came to fight against them . Kedorlaomer and the kings with him defeated the Rephaim people in Ashteroth Karnaim . They also defeated the Zuzim people in Ham . They defeated the Emim people in Shaveh Kiriathaim . 6 And they defeated the Horite people who lived in the area from the hill country of Seir * to El Paran . * ( El Paran is near the desert . ) 7 Then King Kedorlaomer turned back and went to En Mishpat ( that is Kadesh ) and defeated the Amalekite people . He also defeated the Amorite people living in Hazezon Tamar . 8 At that time , the king of Sodom , the king of Gomorrah , the king of Admah , the king of Zeboiim , and the king of Bela ( Zoar ) joined together and went to fight against their enemies . They went to fight in the Valley of Siddim . * 9 They fought against Kedorlaomer the king of Elam , Tidal the king of Goiim , Amraphel the king of Shinar , and Arioch the king of Ellasar . So there were four kings fighting against five . 10 There were very many holes filled with tar * in the Valley of Siddim . The kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and their armies ran away . Many of the soldiers fell into those holes . But the others ran away to the mountains . 11 So their enemies took all the things that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah owned . They took all their food and clothing and left . 12 Lot , the son of Abram ' s brother , was living in Sodom , and the enemy captured him . The enemy also took everything he owned and left . 13 One of the men that was not captured went to Abram the Hebrew and told him what happened . Abram was camped near the trees of Mamre the Amorite . Mamre , Eshcol , and Aner had made an agreement to help each other . * And they had also signed an agreement to help Abram . 14 Abram learned that Lot was captured . So Abram called all of his family together . There were 318 trained soldiers . Abram led the men and chased the enemy all the way to the town of Dan . 15 That night , he and his men made a surprise attack against the enemy . They defeated the enemy and chased them to Hobah , north of Damascus . 16 Then Abram brought back all the things that the enemy had stolen . Abram brought back the women and servants , and also Lot and everything Lot owned . 17 Then Abram went home after he defeated Kedorlaomer and the kings with Kedorlaomer . When he came home , the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh . ( This is now called King ' s Valley . ) 18 Melchizedek , the king of Salem , also went to meet Abram . Melchizedek was a priest of God Most High . Melchizedek brought bread and wine . 19 Melchizedek blessed Abram and said , " Abram , may God Most High bless you . God made heaven and earth . 20 And we praise God Most High . God helped you to defeat your enemies . " Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything he had taken during the battle . 21 Then the king of Sodom told Abram , " You can keep all these things for yourself . Just give me my people that the enemy took away . " 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom , " I promise to the Lord , the God Most High , the One who made heaven and earth -- 23 I promise that I will not keep anything that is yours -- not even a thread or a shoestring ! I don ' t want you to say , ' I made Abram rich . ' 24 The only thing I will accept is the food that my young men have eaten . But you should give the other men their share . Take the things we won in battle and give some to Aner , Eshcol , and Mamre . These men helped me in the battle . " 1 .
