12
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched
his
tent toward Sodom.
13
But the men of Sodom
were
wicked and sinners before the L
ORD
exceedingly.
14
And the L
ORD
said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes,
and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16
And I will make
thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth,
then
shall thy
seed also be numbered.
17
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it;
for I will give it unto thee.
18
Then Abram removed
his
tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of
Mamre, which
is
in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 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 Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6
And the Horites
in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which
is
by the wilderness.
7
And they returned, and came to
En-mishpat, which
is
Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites
that dwelt in Hazezon- tamar.
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.
