Chapter 14

1  The battle of four kings against five.  11  Lot is taken prisoner.  14  Abram rescueth him.  18  Melchizedek blesseth Abram.  20  Abram giveth him tithe.  22  The rest of the spoil, his partners having had their portions, he restoreth to the king of Sodom.

14:1 ¶ And it came to pass (1961) in the days {3117} of Amraphel {569} king {4428} of Shinar, {8152} Arioch {746} king {4428} of Ellasar, {495} Chedorlaomer {3540} king {4428} of Elam, {5867} and Tidal {8413} king {4428} of nations; {1471}

14:2 [That these] made {6213} <8804> war {4421} with {854} Bera {1298} king {4428} of Sodom, {5467} and with (854) Birsha {1306} king {4428} of Gomorrah, {6017} Shinab {8134} king {4428} of Admah, {126} and Shemeber {8038} king {4428} of Zeboiim, {6636} and the king {4428} of Bela, {1106} which (1931) is [1931] Zoar. {6820}

14:3 All (3605) these (428) were joined together {2266} <8804> in (413) the vale {6010} of Siddim, {7708} which {1931} is the salt {4417} sea. {3220}

14:4 Twelve {6240} {8147} years {8141} they served {5647} {853} <8804> Chedorlaomer, {3540} and in the thirteenth {7969} {6240} year {8141} they rebelled. {4775} <8804>

14:5 And in the fourteenth {6240} {702} year {8141} came {935} <8804> Chedorlaomer, {3540} and the kings {4428} that (834) [were] with (854) him, and smote {5221} <8686> (853) the Rephaims {7497} in Ashteroth Karnaim, {6255} and the Zuzims {2104} in Ham, {1990} and the Emims {368} in Shaveh Kiriathaim, {7741}

14:6 And the Horites {2752} in their mount {2042} Seir, {8165} unto (5704) Elparan, {364} which (834) [is] by {5921} the wilderness. {4057}

14:7 And they returned, {7725} <8799> and came {935} <8799> to {413} Enmishpat, {5880} which (1931) [is] Kadesh, {6946} and smote {5221} <8686> (853) all (3605) the country {7704} of the Amalekites, {6003} and also (1571) (853) the Amorites, {567} that dwelt {3427} <8802> in Hazezontamar. {2688}

14:8 And there went out {3318} <8799> the king {4428} of Sodom, {5467} and the king {4428} of Gomorrah, {6017} and the king {4428} of Admah, {126} and the king {4428} of Zeboiim, {6636} and the king {4428} of Bela {1106} (the same {1931} [is] Zoar;) {6820} and they joined {6186} <8799> battle {4421} with (854) them in the vale {6010} of Siddim; {7708}

14:9 With (854) Chedorlaomer {3540} the king {4428} of Elam, {5867} and with Tidal {8413} king {4428} of nations, {1471} and Amraphel {569} king {4428} of Shinar, {8152} and Arioch {746} king {4428} of Ellasar; {495} four {702} kings {4428} with (854) five. {2568}

14:10 And the vale {6010} of Siddim {7708} [was full of] [875] slimepits; {875} {2564} and the kings {4428} of Sodom {5467} and Gomorrah {6017} fled, {5127} <8799> and fell {5307} <8799> there; (8033) and they that remained {7604} <8737> fled {5127} <8804> to the mountain. {2022}

14:11 And they took {3947} <8799> (853) all (3605) the goods {7399} of Sodom {5467} and Gomorrah, {6017} and all (3605) their victuals, {400} and went their way. [3212] <8799> (1980)

14:12 And they took {3947} <8799> (853) Lot, {3876} Abram's {87} brother's {251} son, {1121} who (1931) dwelt {3427} <8802> in Sodom, {5467} and his goods, {7399} and departed. [3212] <8799> (1980)

14:13 ¶ And there came {935} <8799> one that had escaped, {6412} and told {5046} <8686> Abram {87} the Hebrew; {5680} for he (1931) dwelt {7931} <8802> in the plain {436} of Mamre {4471} the Amorite, {567} brother {251} of Eshcol, {812} and brother {251} of Aner: {6063} and these (1992) [were] confederate {1167} {1285} with Abram. {87}

14:14 And when Abram {87} heard {8085} <8799> that (3588) his brother {251} was taken captive, {7617} <8738> he armed {7324} <8686> (853) his trained {2593} [servants], born {3211} in his own house, {1004} three {7969} hundred {3967} and eighteen, {6240} {8083} and pursued {7291} <8799> [them] unto (5704) Dan. {1835}

14:15 And he divided [2505] <8735> himself (2505) against (5921) them, he (1931) and his servants, {5650} by night, {3915} and smote {5221} <8686> them, and pursued {7291} <8799> them unto (5704) Hobah, {2327} which (834) [is] on the left hand {8040} (4480) of Damascus. {1834}

14:16 And he brought back {7725} <8686> (853) all (3605) the goods, {7399} and also (1571) brought again {7725} <8689> his brother {251} (853) Lot, {3876} and his goods, {7399} and (853) the women {802} also, (1571) and the people. {5971}

14:17 ¶ And the king {4428} of Sodom {5467} went out {3318} <8799> to meet {7125} <8800> him after {310} his return {7725} <8800> from the slaughter {5221} <8687> (4480) of (853) Chedorlaomer, {3540} and of the kings {4428} that (834) [were] with (854) him, at (413) the valley {6010} of Shaveh, {7740} which {1931} [is] the king's {4428} dale. {6010}

14:18 And Melchizedek {4442} king {4428} of Salem {8004} brought forth {3318} <8689> bread {3899} and wine: {3196} and he (1931) [was] the priest {3548} of the most high {5945} God. {410}

14:19 And he blessed {1288} <8762> him, and said, {559} <8799> Blessed {1288} <8803> [be] Abram {87} of the most high {5945} God, {410} possessor {7069} <8802> of heaven {8064} and earth: {776}

14:20 And blessed {1288} <8803> be the most high {5945} God, {410} which (834) hath delivered {4042} <8765> thine enemies {6862} into thy hand. {3027} And he gave {5414} <8799> him tithes {4643} of all. (4480) (3605)

14:21 And the king {4428} of Sodom {5467} said {559} <8799> unto (413) Abram, {87} Give {5414} <8798> me the persons, {5315} and take {3947} <8798> the goods {7399} to thyself.

14:22 And Abram {87} said {559} <8799> to (413) the king {4428} of Sodom, {5467} I have lift up {7311} <8689> mine hand {3027} unto (413) the LORD, {3068} the most high {5945} God, {410} the possessor {7069} <8802> of heaven {8064} and earth, {776}

14:23 That I will not {518} [take] from a thread {2339} (4480) even to (5704) a shoelatchet, {5275} {8288} and that I will not {518} take {3947} <8799> any thing (4480) (3605) that (834) [is] thine, lest (3808) thou shouldest say, {559} <8799> I (589) have made [6238] <0> Abram [87] rich: {6238} <8689> (853) (87)

14:24 Save {1107} only (7535) that which {834} the young men {5288} have eaten, {398} <8804> and the portion {2506} of the men [582] (376) which (834) went {1980} <8804> with {854} me, Aner, {6063} Eshcol, {812} and Mamre; {4471} let them {1992} take {3947} <8799> their portion. {2506}
