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.
