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.

Melchizedek Blesses Abram

17 Then after he came back from striking down Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, (AD)the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, (AE)the King’s Valley). 18 And (AF)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out (AG)bread and wine; now he was a (AH)priest of [n]God Most High. 19 Then he blessed him and said,

“Blessed be Abram of [o]God Most High,
[p](AI)Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be [q]God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

(AJ)Then he gave him a tenth of all. 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the [r]people to me, but take the possessions for yourself.” 22 Then Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have [s]raised my hand to Yahweh [t](AK)God Most High, [u](AL)possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (AM)I will not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, so that you would not say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 24 [v]I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, (AN)Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share.”

La guerra de los reyes

14 Aconteció en los días de Amrafel, rey de Sinar(A), de Arioc, rey de Elasar, de Quedorlaomer, rey de Elam(B), y de Tidal, rey de Goyim[a], 2 que estos hicieron guerra a Bera, rey de Sodoma, y a Birsa, rey de Gomorra, a Sinab, rey de Adma(C), a Semeber, rey de Zeboim(D), y al rey de Bela, es decir, Zoar(E). 3 Estos últimos se reunieron como aliados[b] en el valle de Sidim(F), es decir, el mar Salado[c](G).

4 Doce años habían servido a Quedorlaomer, pero en el año trece se rebelaron. 5 En el año catorce, Quedorlaomer y los reyes que estaban con él, vinieron y derrotaron[d] a los refaítas(H) en Astarot Karnaim(I), a los zuzitas en Ham, a los emitas en Save Quiriataim[e](J), 6 y a los horeos en el monte de Seir(K) hasta El Parán(L), que está junto al desierto. 7 Entonces volvieron a En Mispat, es decir, Cades(M), y conquistaron[f] todo el territorio de los amalecitas, y también a los amorreos que habitaban en Hazezon Tamar(N).

8 Entonces el rey de Sodoma, con el rey de Gomorra, el rey de Adma, el rey de Zeboim y el rey de Bela, es decir, Zoar, salieron y les presentaron batalla en el valle de Sidim(O): 9 es decir, a Quedorlaomer, rey de Elam, a Tidal, rey de Goyim[g], a Amrafel, rey de Sinar, y a Arioc, rey de Elasar; cuatro reyes contra cinco. 10 El valle de Sidim estaba lleno de pozos de asfalto, y el rey de Sodoma(P) y el de Gomorra al huir cayeron allí. Y los demás huyeron a los montes(Q).

11 Entonces tomaron todos los bienes de Sodoma y Gomorra con todas sus provisiones, y se fueron. 12 Se llevaron también a Lot, sobrino de Abram(R), con todas sus posesiones, pues él habitaba en Sodoma(S), y se fueron.

Abram libera a Lot

13 Uno de los que escaparon[h] vino y se lo hizo saber a Abram el hebreo(T), que habitaba en el encinar[i] de Mamre(U) el amorreo, hermano de Escol y hermano de Aner, y estos eran aliados(V) de[j] Abram. 14 Al oír Abram que su sobrino[k](W) había sido llevado cautivo, movilizó a sus hombres adiestrados nacidos en su casa(X), 318 en total, y salió en su persecución hasta Dan(Y).

15 Por la noche, él, con sus siervos, organizó sus fuerzas[l](Z) contra ellos, y los derrotó[m] y los persiguió hasta Hoba, que está al norte[n] de Damasco(AA). 16 Y recobró todos sus bienes(AB), también a su sobrino[o] Lot(AC) con sus posesiones, y también a las mujeres y a la demás gente.

Abram y Melquisedec

17 A su regreso después de derrotar[p] a Quedorlaomer y a los reyes que estaban con él, salió a su encuentro el rey de Sodoma(AD) en el valle de Save, es decir, el valle del Rey(AE). 18 Y Melquisedec, rey de Salem(AF), sacó pan y vino(AG); él era sacerdote(AH) del Dios Altísimo[q]. 19 Él lo bendijo, diciendo[r]:

«Bendito sea Abram del Dios Altísimo,
Creador del cielo y de la tierra(AI);
20 Y bendito sea el Dios Altísimo
Que entregó a tus enemigos en tu mano».

Y Abram le dio el diezmo de todo(AJ).

21 El rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: «Dame las personas[s] y toma para ti los bienes». 22 Y Abram dijo al rey de Sodoma: «He jurado[t] al Señor, Dios Altísimo, creador del cielo y de la tierra(AK), 23 que no tomaré ni un hilo ni una correa de zapato, ni ninguna cosa(AL) suya, para que no diga: “Yo enriquecí a Abram”. 24 Nada tomaré[u], excepto lo que los jóvenes han comido y la parte de los hombres que fueron conmigo: Aner, Escol y Mamre(AM). Ellos tomarán su parte».

Genesis 14
King James Version

14 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;

2 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.

3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

5 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,

6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

7 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.

8 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;

9 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.

10 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.

11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13 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.

14 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.

15 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.

16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

17 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.

18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

22 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,

23 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:

24 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.

Abram Rescues Lot

14 At the time when Amraphel was king of Shinar,[a](A) Arioch king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer(B) king of Elam(C) and Tidal king of Goyim, 2 these kings went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboyim,(D) and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).(E) 3 All these latter kings joined forces in the Valley of Siddim(F) (that is, the Dead Sea Valley(G)). 4 For twelve years they had been subject to Kedorlaomer,(H) but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

5 In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer(I) and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites(J) in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites(K) in Shaveh Kiriathaim 6 and the Horites(L) in the hill country of Seir,(M) as far as El Paran(N) near the desert. 7 Then they turned back and went to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh),(O) and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites,(P) as well as the Amorites(Q) who were living in Hazezon Tamar.(R)

8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah,(S) the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim(T) and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar)(U) marched out and drew up their battle lines in the Valley of Siddim(V) 9 against Kedorlaomer(W) king of Elam,(X) Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim(Y) was full of tar(Z) pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah(AA) fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills.(AB) 11 The four kings seized all the goods(AC) of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food; then they went away. 12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot(AD) and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.

13 A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew.(AE) Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre(AF) the Amorite, a brother[b] of Eshkol(AG) and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram. 14 When Abram heard that his relative(AH) had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained(AI) men born in his household(AJ) and went in pursuit as far as Dan.(AK) 15 During the night Abram divided his men(AL) to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.(AM) 16 He recovered(AN) all the goods(AO) and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.

17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer(AP) and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom(AQ) came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).(AR)

18 Then Melchizedek(AS) king of Salem(AT) brought out bread(AU) and wine.(AV) He was priest of God Most High,(AW) 19 and he blessed Abram,(AX) saying,

“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,(AY)
    Creator of heaven and earth.(AZ)
20 And praise be to God Most High,(BA)
    who delivered your enemies into your hand.”

Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.(BB)

21 The king of Sodom(BC) said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods(BD) for yourself.”

22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom,(BE) “With raised hand(BF) I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High,(BG) Creator of heaven and earth,(BH) 23 that I will accept nothing belonging to you,(BI) not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ 24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre.(BJ) Let them have their share.”
