'''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 Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
'''6''' And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

'''11''' And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
'''12''' And they took Lot<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 11|Gen 11:31]]</ref>, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 13|Gen 13:12]], [[Jeremiah, Chapter 2|Jer 2:17,19]]</ref>, and his goods, and departed.

'''14''' And when Abram heard that his brother<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 13|Gen 13:8]]</ref> was taken captive, he armed his trained ''servants'', born in his own house<ref>[[Ecclesiastes, Chapter 2|Ecc 2:7]], [[Genesis, Chapter 15|Gen 15:3]], [[Genesis, Chapter 17|Gen 17:27]]</ref>, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued ''them'' unto Dan<ref> [[Isaiah, Chapter 41|Isa 41:2]], [[Judges, Chapter 18|Jdg 18:29]], [[Deuteronomy, Chapter 34|Deu 34:1]]</ref>.
'''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<ref>[[1st Samuel, Chapter 30|1 Sam 30:8]], [[1st Samuel, Chapter 30|1 Sam 30:18-19]]</ref>.
'''17''' And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that ''were'' with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale<ref>[[2nd Samuel, Chapter 18|2 Sam 18:18]]</ref>.
'''18''' And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he ''was'' the priest of the most high God<ref>[[Hebrews, Chapter 7|Heb 7:10-22]], [[Acts, Chapter 16|Act 16:17]], [[Micah, Chapter 6|Mic 6:6]], [[Psalm 110|Psa 110:4]], [[Hebrews, Chapter 7|Heb 7:1-2]]</ref>.
'''19''' And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
'''20''' And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all<ref>[[Hebrews, Chapter 7|Heb 7:4]]</ref>.
'''21''' And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
'''22''' And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord<ref>[[Daniel, Chapter 12|Dan 12:7]], [[Revelation, Chapter 10|Rev 10:5]]</ref>, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth<ref>[[Psalm 24|Psa 24:1]], [[Matthew, Chapter 11|Mat 11:25]]</ref>,
'''23''' That I will not ''take'' from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that ''is'' thine<ref>[[Esther, Chapter 9|Est 9:15]], [[2nd Corinthians, Chapter 2|2 Cor 11:9-12]]</ref>, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
'''24''' 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.
