8And 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 athe valley of Siddim,

9against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of 1Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five—

10now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits—and athe kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell 1into them; but those who remained behind fled to the bhill country.

11Then they took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply and departed.

12They also took Lot, aAbram’s nephew, and his possessions and departed; bnow he was living in Sodom.

13Then 1a fugitive came and told Abram the aHebrew. Now he was dwelling by the 2boaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were 3cin a covenant with Abram.

14So Abram heard that ahis 1relative had been taken captive, and he 2led out his trained men, bborn in his house, 318 in number, and went in pursuit as far as cDan.

15aAnd he divided 1his men against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is 2north of bDamascus.

16And he abrought back all the possessions, and he also brought back bhis 1relative Lot with his possessions and also the women and the people.
