Chapître 14

1

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] made¹ 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 together¹ in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

4

 Twelve ⁸¹⁴⁷ years they served^{1 853} Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth ⁶²⁴⁰ year they rebelled.¹

5

And in the fourteenth ⁷⁰² year came¹ Chedorlaomer, and the kings that [were] with him, and smote⁵⁵ the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6

And the Horites ²⁷⁵³ in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which [is] by the wilderness.

7

And they returned,⁴ and came⁴ to Enmishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smote⁵⁵ all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt⁶ in Hazezontamar.

8

And there went out⁴ 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 joined⁴ 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; ^{875 2564} and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled,⁴ and fell⁴ there; and they that remained¹² fled¹ to the mountain.

11

And they took⁴ all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.⁴

12

And they took⁴ Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt⁶ in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.⁴

13

And there came⁴ one that had escaped, and told⁵⁵ Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt⁶ in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate ¹²⁸⁵ with Abram.

14

And when Abram heard⁴ that his brother was taken captive,⁸ he armed⁵⁵ his trained [servants], born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, ⁸⁰⁸³ and pursued⁴ [them] unto Dan.

15

And he divided¹¹ himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote⁵⁵ them, and pursued⁴ them unto Hobah, which [is] on the left hand of Damascus.

16

And he brought back⁵⁵ all the goods, and also brought again⁵² his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

17

And the king of Sodom went out⁴ to meet² him after his return² from the slaughter⁵³ 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 forth⁵² bread and wine: and he [was] the priest of the most high God.

19

And he blessed¹⁷ him, and said,⁴ Blessed⁷ [be] Abram of the most high God, possessor⁶ of heaven and earth:

20

And blessed⁷ be the most high God, which hath delivered¹⁴ thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave⁴ him tithes of all.

21

And the king of Sodom said⁴ unto Abram, Give³ me the persons, and take³ the goods to thyself.

22

And Abram said⁴ to the king of Sodom, I have lift up⁵² mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor⁶ of heaven and earth,

23

That I will not [take] from a thread even to a shoelatchet, ⁸²⁸⁸ and that I will not take⁴ any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say,⁴ I have made Abram rich:⁵²

24

 Save only that which the young men have eaten,¹ and the portion of the men which went¹ with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take⁴ their portion.
