Kings of the Valley Take Lot

14 And it happened in the days of Amraphel king of (A)Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of (B)Elam, and Tidal king of [a]Goiim, 2 that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of (C)Admah, and Shemeber king of (D)Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, (E)Zoar). 3 All these [b]came as allies to (F)the valley of Siddim (that is, (G)the Salt Sea). 4 Now for twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5 So in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, came and struck the (H)Rephaim in (I)Ashteroth-karnaim and the Zuzim in Ham and the Emim in [c](J)Shaveh-kiriathaim, 6 and the (K)Horites in their Mount Seir, as far as (L)El-paran, which is by the wilderness. 7 Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, (M)Kadesh). And they struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who were living in (N)Hazazon-tamar. 8 And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they arranged themselves for battle against them in (O)the valley of Siddim, 9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of [d]Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five— 10 now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits—and (P)the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell [e]into them; but those who remained behind fled to the (Q)hill country. 11 Then they took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply and departed. 12 They also took Lot, (R)Abram’s nephew, and his possessions and departed; (S)now he was living in Sodom.

13 Then [f]a fugitive came and told Abram the (T)Hebrew. Now he was dwelling by the [g](U)oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were [h](V)in a covenant with Abram. 14 So Abram heard that (W)his [i]relative had been taken captive, and he [j]led out his trained men, (X)born in his house, 318 in number, and went in pursuit as far as (Y)Dan. 15 (Z)And he divided [k]his men against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is [l]north of (AA)Damascus. 16 And he (AB)brought back all the possessions, and he also brought back (AC)his [m]relative Lot with his possessions and also the women and the people.

Melchizedek Blesses Abram

17 Then after he came back from striking down Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, (AD)the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, (AE)the King’s Valley). 18 And (AF)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out (AG)bread and wine; now he was a (AH)priest of [n]God Most High. 19 Then he blessed him and said,

“Blessed be Abram of [o]God Most High,
[p](AI)Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be [q]God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

(AJ)Then he gave him a tenth of all. 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the [r]people to me, but take the possessions for yourself.” 22 Then Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have [s]raised my hand to Yahweh [t](AK)God Most High, [u](AL)possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (AM)I will not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, so that you would not say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 24 [v]I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, (AN)Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share.”

La guerra de los reyes

14 Aconteció en los días de Amrafel, rey de Sinar(A), de Arioc, rey de Elasar, de Quedorlaomer, rey de Elam(B), y de Tidal, rey de Goyim[a], 2 que estos hicieron guerra a Bera, rey de Sodoma, y a Birsa, rey de Gomorra, a Sinab, rey de Adma(C), a Semeber, rey de Zeboim(D), y al rey de Bela, es decir, Zoar(E). 3 Estos últimos se reunieron como aliados[b] en el valle de Sidim(F), es decir, el mar Salado[c](G).

4 Doce años habían servido a Quedorlaomer, pero en el año trece se rebelaron. 5 En el año catorce, Quedorlaomer y los reyes que estaban con él, vinieron y derrotaron[d] a los refaítas(H) en Astarot Karnaim(I), a los zuzitas en Ham, a los emitas en Save Quiriataim[e](J), 6 y a los horeos en el monte de Seir(K) hasta El Parán(L), que está junto al desierto. 7 Entonces volvieron a En Mispat, es decir, Cades(M), y conquistaron[f] todo el territorio de los amalecitas, y también a los amorreos que habitaban en Hazezon Tamar(N).

8 Entonces el rey de Sodoma, con el rey de Gomorra, el rey de Adma, el rey de Zeboim y el rey de Bela, es decir, Zoar, salieron y les presentaron batalla en el valle de Sidim(O): 9 es decir, a Quedorlaomer, rey de Elam, a Tidal, rey de Goyim[g], a Amrafel, rey de Sinar, y a Arioc, rey de Elasar; cuatro reyes contra cinco. 10 El valle de Sidim estaba lleno de pozos de asfalto, y el rey de Sodoma(P) y el de Gomorra al huir cayeron allí. Y los demás huyeron a los montes(Q).

11 Entonces tomaron todos los bienes de Sodoma y Gomorra con todas sus provisiones, y se fueron. 12 Se llevaron también a Lot, sobrino de Abram(R), con todas sus posesiones, pues él habitaba en Sodoma(S), y se fueron.

Abram libera a Lot

13 Uno de los que escaparon[h] vino y se lo hizo saber a Abram el hebreo(T), que habitaba en el encinar[i] de Mamre(U) el amorreo, hermano de Escol y hermano de Aner, y estos eran aliados(V) de[j] Abram. 14 Al oír Abram que su sobrino[k](W) había sido llevado cautivo, movilizó a sus hombres adiestrados nacidos en su casa(X), 318 en total, y salió en su persecución hasta Dan(Y).

15 Por la noche, él, con sus siervos, organizó sus fuerzas[l](Z) contra ellos, y los derrotó[m] y los persiguió hasta Hoba, que está al norte[n] de Damasco(AA). 16 Y recobró todos sus bienes(AB), también a su sobrino[o] Lot(AC) con sus posesiones, y también a las mujeres y a la demás gente.

Abram y Melquisedec

17 A su regreso después de derrotar[p] a Quedorlaomer y a los reyes que estaban con él, salió a su encuentro el rey de Sodoma(AD) en el valle de Save, es decir, el valle del Rey(AE). 18 Y Melquisedec, rey de Salem(AF), sacó pan y vino(AG); él era sacerdote(AH) del Dios Altísimo[q]. 19 Él lo bendijo, diciendo[r]:

«Bendito sea Abram del Dios Altísimo,
Creador del cielo y de la tierra(AI);
20 Y bendito sea el Dios Altísimo
Que entregó a tus enemigos en tu mano».

Y Abram le dio el diezmo de todo(AJ).

21 El rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: «Dame las personas[s] y toma para ti los bienes». 22 Y Abram dijo al rey de Sodoma: «He jurado[t] al Señor, Dios Altísimo, creador del cielo y de la tierra(AK), 23 que no tomaré ni un hilo ni una correa de zapato, ni ninguna cosa(AL) suya, para que no diga: “Yo enriquecí a Abram”. 24 Nada tomaré[u], excepto lo que los jóvenes han comido y la parte de los hombres que fueron conmigo: Aner, Escol y Mamre(AM). Ellos tomarán su parte».

Abram Rescues Lot

14 In the days of Amraphel king of (A)Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of (B)Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, 2 these kings made war with (C)Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of (D)Admah, Shemeber king of (E)Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). 3 And all these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim ((F)that is, the Salt Sea). 4 Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the (G)Rephaim in (H)Ashteroth-karnaim, the (I)Zuzim in Ham, the (J)Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, 6 and the (K)Horites in their hill country of Seir as far as (L)El-paran on the border of the wilderness. 7 Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, (M)Kadesh) and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who were dwelling (N)in Hazazon-tamar.

8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim 9 with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of (O)bitumen pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled (P)to the hill country. 11 So the enemy took (Q)all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way. 12 They also took Lot, (R)the son of Abram's brother, (S)who was dwelling in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way.

13 Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, (T)who was living by the (U)oaks[a] of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner. These were allies of Abram. 14 When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, (V)born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as (W)Dan. 15 And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus. 16 Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his kinsman Lot (X)with his possessions, and the women and the people.

Abram Blessed by Melchizedek

17 After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the (Y)King's Valley). 18 And (Z)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was (AA)priest of (AB)God Most High.) 19 And he blessed him and said,

(AC)“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
    (AD)Possessor[b] of heaven and earth;
20 and blessed be God Most High,
    who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”

And Abram gave him (AE)a tenth of everything. 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, (AF)“I have lifted my hand[c] to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (AG)I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 24 I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let (AH)Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.”
