Genesis 14
14
Abram Rescues Lot
1And it came to pass in the days of Am´raphel king of Shinar, Ar´i-och king of Ella´sar, Chedorla-o´mer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; 2that these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomor´rah, Shinab king of Admah, and Sheme´ber king of Zeboi´im, and the king of Bela, which is Zo´ar. 3All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. 4Twelve years they served Chedorla-o´mer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5And in the fourteenth year came Chedorla-o´mer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Reph´a-im in Ash´teroth–karna´im, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiri-atha´im, 6and the Horites in their mount Se´ir, unto El–pa´ran, which is by the wilderness. 7And they returned, and came to En–mish´pat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amal´ekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Haz´azon–ta´mar. 8And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomor´rah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboi´im, and the king of Bela, (the same is Zo´ar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim; 9with Chedorla-o´mer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Am´raphel king of Shinar, and Ar´i-och king of Ella´sar; four kings with five. 10And the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomor´rah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain. 11And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomor´rah, and all their victuals, and went their way. 12And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13And 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. 14And 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. 15And 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. 16And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Melchizedek Blesses Abram
17And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorla-o´mer and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale. 18#Heb 7.1-10. And Melchiz´edek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19And he blessed him, and said,
Blessed be Abram of the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth:
20and blessed be the most high God,
which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
And he gave him tithes of all. 21And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 22And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, 23that I will not take from a thread even to a shoe-latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: 24save 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.

Genesis 14
14
Abram Rescues Lot
1In the days that Amraphel was king of Shinar, # Ge 10:10 Arioch king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim, 2they made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboyim, # Ge 10:19 and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). # Ge 13:10 3All these were joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Dead Sea). # Nu 34:12; Dt 3:17 4For twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaites # Ge 15:20 in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, and the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim, 6and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, # Dt 2:12, 22 as far as El-paran, which is by the wilderness. # Ge 21:21 7Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh) and conquered all the country of the Amalekites and also the Amorites who lived in Hazezon Tamar. # 2Ch 20:2
8Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out, and they joined together in battle in the Valley of Siddim # Ge 13:10; 19:20 9against Kedorlaomer, the king of Elam, Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. 10Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell in them, and the rest fled to the hill country. # Ge 19:17, 30 11Then they took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and departed. # Ge 14:16, 21 12They also took Lot, # Ge 11:27; 12:5 Abram’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way.
13Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living near the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, # Ge 13:18 brother of Eshkol and Aner, and these were allies with Abram. # Ge 14:24 14When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants born in his own house, # Ge 15:3 and pursued them as far as Dan. # Jdg 18:29 15During the night he divided his men to attack them and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus. 16He brought back all the possessions, along with his relative Lot and his possessions, and also the women and the people. # 1Sa 30:8
Melchizedek Blesses Abram
17After his return from the defeat of Kedorlaomer and the kings who had joined with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). # 2Sa 18:18
18Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was the priest of God Most High. # Ps 110:4; Heb 5:6, 10 19And he blessed him and said,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Creator # 14:19 Or Possessor. of heaven and earth; # Mt 11:25
20and blessed be God Most High,
who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” # Ge 24:27
Then Abram gave him one-tenth of everything. # Ge 28:22
21The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and take the goods for yourself.”
22But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to the Lord, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth, # Ex 6:8; Da 12:7 23that I will take nothing that is yours, # 2Ki 5:16; Est 9:15–16 not a thread or a sandal strap; lest you say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 24I will accept only that which my men have eaten and the portion that belongs to the men who went with me, Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.”
