All these kings came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).

Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and conquered all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who lived in Hazazon-tamar.

and He overthrew those cities, and all the surrounding area, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
