01:014:008 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of
Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king
of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the
vale of Siddim;
01:014:009 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of
nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four
kings with five.
01:014:010 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings
of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled
to the mountain.
01:014:011 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all
their victuals, and went their way.
01:014:012 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in
Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
01:014:013 And 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.
01:014:014 And 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.
01:014:015 And 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.
01:014:016 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again
his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
01:014:017 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return
from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with
him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
01:014:018 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine:
and he was the priest of the most high God.
01:014:019 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most
high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
01:014:020 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine
enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
01:014:021 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons,
and take the goods to thyself.
01:014:022 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine
hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and
earth,
01:014:023 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet,
and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest
say, I have made Abram rich:
01:014:024 Save 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.
01:015:001 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a
vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding
great reward.
01:015:002 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I
go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
01:015:003 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and,
lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
