The war of the kings
And in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of nations — these went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. The whole lot of them joined up in the valley of Siddim, which is the Salt Sea. Twelve years they'd served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth they turned on him. And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings with him, and they went through the Rephaim at Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim at Ham and the Emim at Shaveh Kiriathaim, and the Horites in their own mountain country of Seir, as far as Elparan on the edge of the wilderness. And they turned back and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and went through the whole Amalekite country, and the Amorites living at Hazezontamar with them. And out came the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that's Zoar), and they lined up for battle in the valley of Siddim against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of nations, Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar — four kings against five. And the valley of Siddim was full of slimepits. The kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell there, while the others escaped to the hills. And they took everything Sodom and Gomorrah had, and all their food, and off they went. And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son who lived in Sodom, along with all his possessions, and went their way.

Abram rescues Lot
And one who'd got away came and told Abram the Hebrew. He was camped by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were in with Abram. And when Abram heard his own kin had been taken, he mustered the trained men born in his house — three hundred and eighteen of them — and went after them as far as Dan. And he split his men up and came at them by night, him and his servants, and beat them, and ran them down as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. And he brought everything back — the goods, his relative Lot and his possessions, and the women and the rest of the people.
And one who'd got away came and told Abram the Hebrew. Because he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshkol and brother of Aner. And these were in league with Abram. And when Abram heard his brother was taken prisoner, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and chased them as far as Dan. And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them and chased them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. And he brought back all the goods, and brought back his brother Lot too and his goods, and the women too, and the people.

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

Melchizedek
And the king of Sodom came out to meet him after his return from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the King's Valley. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: Blessed be Abram of God Most High, who owns heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High, who has handed your enemies over to you. And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the people. Keep the goods for yourself. And Abram said to the king of Sodom: I've raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, who owns heaven and earth, that I won't take a thread off you, or a bootlace, or one thing that's yours. You'll never get to say: I'm the one who made Abram rich. Nothing for me — only what the young men have eaten, and the share for the men who came with me. Aner, Eshcol and Mamre can take their share.

And he gave him tithes of all. And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 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, 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: 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.
