01:013:006 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might
dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not
dwell together.
01:013:007 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle
and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite
dwelled then in the land.
01:013:008 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray
thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for
we be brethren.
01:013:009 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray
thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the
right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
01:013:010 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of
Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of
Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
01:013:011 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot
journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
01:013:012 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the
cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
01:013:013 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD
exceedingly.
01:013:014 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated
from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou
art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
01:013:015 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it,
and to thy seed for ever.
01:013:016 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that
if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be
numbered.
01:013:017 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the
breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
01:013:018 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain
of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
01:014:001 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar,
Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of
nations;
01:014:002 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha
king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim,
and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
01:014:003 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which
is the salt sea.
01:014:004 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth
year they rebelled.
01:014:005 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings
that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and
the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
01:014:006 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is
by the wilderness.
01:014:007 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh,
and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites,
that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
