Genesis 14 (WEBP)
[1] In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar; Arioch, king of Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; and Tidal, king of Goiim,
[2] they made war with Bera, king of Sodom; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim; and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).
[3] All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
[4] They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
[5] In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
[6] and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
[7] They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
[8] The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim
[9] against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
[10] Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and some fell there. Those who remained fled to the hills.
[11] They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.
[12] They took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
[13] One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. They were allies of Abram.
[14] When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his three hundred eighteen trained men, born in his house, and pursued as far as Dan.
[15] He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
[16] He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.
[17] The king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
[18] Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
[19] He blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.
[20] Blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave him a tenth of all.
[21] The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
[22] Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
[23] that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
[24] I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.”

[1] And it came to pass in the days H3117 of Amraphel H569 king H4428 of Shinar H8152, Arioch H746 king H4428 of Ellasar H495, Chedorlaomer H3540 king H4428 of Elam H5867, and Tidal H8413 king H4428 of nations H1471;
[2] [That these] made H6213 (8804) war H4421 with H854 Bera H1298 king H4428 of Sodom H5467, and with Birsha H1306 king H4428 of Gomorrah H6017, Shinab H8134 king H4428 of Admah H126, and Shemeber H8038 king H4428 of Zeboiim H6636, and the king H4428 of Bela H1106, which is H1931 Zoar H6820.
[3] All these were joined together H2266 (8804) in the vale H6010 of Siddim H7708, which H1931 is the salt H4417 sea H3220.
[4] Twelve H6240 H8147 years H8141 they served H5647 (8804) H853 Chedorlaomer H3540, and in the thirteenth H7969 H6240 year H8141 they rebelled H4775 (8804).
[5] And in the fourteenth H6240 H702 year H8141 came H935 (8804) Chedorlaomer H3540, and the kings H4428 that [were] with him, and smote H5221 (8686) the Rephaims H7497 in Ashteroth Karnaim H6255, and the Zuzims H2104 in Ham H1990, and the Emims H368 in Shaveh Kiriathaim H7741,
[6] And the Horites H2752 in their mount H2042 Seir H8165, unto Elparan H364, which [is] by H5921 the wilderness H4057.
[7] And they returned H7725 (8799), and came H935 (8799) to H413 Enmishpat H5880, which [is] Kadesh H6946, and smote H5221 (8686) all the country H7704 of the Amalekites H6003, and also the Amorites H567, that dwelt H3427 (8802) in Hazezontamar H2688.
[8] And there went out H3318 (8799) the king H4428 of Sodom H5467, and the king H4428 of Gomorrah H6017, and the king H4428 of Admah H126, and the king H4428 of Zeboiim H6636, and the king H4428 of Bela H1106 (the same H1931 [is] Zoar H6820;) and they joined H6186 (8799) battle H4421 with them in the vale H6010 of Siddim H7708;
[9] With Chedorlaomer H3540 the king H4428 of Elam H5867, and with Tidal H8413 king H4428 of nations H1471, and Amraphel H569 king H4428 of Shinar H8152, and Arioch H746 king H4428 of Ellasar H495; four H702 kings H4428 with five H2568.
[10] And the vale H6010 of Siddim H7708 [was full of] H875 slimepits H875 H2564; and the kings H4428 of Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah H6017 fled H5127 (8799), and fell H5307 (8799) there; and they that remained H7604 (8737) fled H5127 (8804) to the mountain H2022.
[11] And they took H3947 (8799) all the goods H7399 of Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah H6017, and all their victuals H400, and went their way H3212 (8799).
[12] And they took H3947 (8799) Lot H3876, Abram’s H87 brother’s H251 son H1121, who dwelt H3427 (8802) in Sodom H5467, and his goods H7399, and departed H3212 (8799).
[13] And there came H935 (8799) one that had escaped H6412, and told H5046 (8686) Abram H87 the Hebrew H5680; for he dwelt H7931 (8802) in the plain H436 of Mamre H4471 the Amorite H567, brother H251 of Eshcol H812, and brother H251 of Aner H6063: and these [were] confederate H1167 H1285 with Abram H87.
[14] And when Abram H87 heard H8085 (8799) that his brother H251 was taken captive H7617 (8738), he armed H7324 (8686) his trained H2593 [servants], born H3211 in his own house H1004, three H7969 hundred H3967 and eighteen H6240 H8083, and pursued H7291 (8799) [them] unto Dan H1835.
[15] And he divided H2505 (8735) himself against them, he and his servants H5650, by night H3915, and smote H5221 (8686) them, and pursued H7291 (8799) them unto Hobah H2327, which [is] on the left hand H8040 of Damascus H1834.
[16] And he brought back H7725 (8686) all the goods H7399, and also brought again H7725 (8689) his brother H251 Lot H3876, and his goods H7399, and the women H802 also, and the people H5971.
[17] And the king H4428 of Sodom H5467 went out H3318 (8799) to meet H7125 (8800) him after H310 his return H7725 (8800) from the slaughter H5221 (8687) of Chedorlaomer H3540, and of the kings H4428 that [were] with him, at the valley H6010 of Shaveh H7740, which H1931 [is] the king’s H4428 dale H6010.
[18] And Melchizedek H4442 king H4428 of Salem H8004 brought forth H3318 (8689) bread H3899 and wine H3196: and he [was] the priest H3548 of the most high H5945 God H410.
[19] And he blessed H1288 (8762) him, and said H559 (8799), Blessed H1288 (8803) [be] Abram H87 of the most high H5945 God H410, possessor H7069 (8802) of heaven H8064 and earth H776:
[20] And blessed H1288 (8803) be the most high H5945 God H410, which hath delivered H4042 (8765) thine enemies H6862 into thy hand H3027. And he gave H5414 (8799) him tithes H4643 of all.
[21] And the king H4428 of Sodom H5467 said H559 (8799) unto Abram H87, Give H5414 (8798) me the persons H5315, and take H3947 (8798) the goods H7399 to thyself.
[22] And Abram H87 said H559 (8799) to the king H4428 of Sodom H5467, I have lift up H7311 (8689) mine hand H3027 unto the LORD H3068, the most high H5945 God H410, the possessor H7069 (8802) of heaven H8064 and earth H776,
[23] That I will not H518 [take] from a thread H2339 even to a shoelatchet H5275 H8288, and that I will not H518 take H3947 (8799) any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say H559 (8799), I have made H6238 Abram H87 rich H6238 (8689):
[24] Save H1107 only that which H834 the young men H5288 have eaten H398 (8804), and the portion H2506 of the men H582 which went H1980 (8804) with H854 me, Aner H6063, Eshcol H812, and Mamre H4471; let them H1992 take H3947 (8799) their portion H2506.

Genesis 14 (YLT)
[1] And it cometh to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim,
[2] they have made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
[3] All these have been joined together unto the valley of Siddim, which is the Salt Sea;
[4] twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth year they rebelled.
[5] And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings who are with him, and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
[6] and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-Paran, which is by the wilderness;
[7] and they turn back and come in unto En-Mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smite the whole field of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who is dwelling in Hazezon-Tamar.
[8] And the king of Sodom goeth out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar; and they set the battle in array with them in the valley of Siddim,
[9] with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with the five.
[10] And the valley of Siddim is full of bitumen-pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah flee, and fall there, and those left have fled to the mountain.
[11] And they take the whole substance of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole of their food, and go away;
[12] and they take Lot, Abram’s brother’s son (seeing he is dwelling in Sodom), and his substance, and go away.
[13] And one who is escaping cometh and declareth to Abram the Hebrew, and he is dwelling among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and they are Abram’s allies.
[14] And Abram heareth that his brother hath been taken captive, and he draweth out his trained domestics, three hundred and eighteen, and pursueth unto Dan.
[15] And he divideth himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smiteth them, and pursueth them unto Hobah, which is at the left of Damascus;
[16] and he bringeth back the whole of the substance, and also Lot his brother and his substance hath he brought back, and also the women and the people.
[17] And the king of Sodom goeth out to meet him (after his turning back from the smiting of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings who are with him), unto the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s valley.
[18] And Melchizedek king of Salem hath brought out bread and wine, and he is priest of God Most High;
[19] and he blesseth him, and saith, ‘Blessed is Abram to God Most High, possessing heaven and earth;
[20] and blessed is God Most High, who hath delivered thine adversaries into thy hand;’ and he giveth to him a tenth of all.
[21] And the king of Sodom saith unto Abram, ‘Give to me the persons, and the substance take to thyself,’
[22] and Abram saith unto the king of Sodom, ‘I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessing heaven and earth-
[23] from a thread even unto a shoe-latchet I take not of anything which thou hast, that thou say not, I-I have made Abram rich;
[24] save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who have gone with me-Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre-they take their portion.’
