10. And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits, and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell there; and those that remained fled to the mountain.
11. And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions and went away.
12. And they also took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods and departed.
13. And one came that had escaped and told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt among the terebinth trees 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 tried and experienced servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
15. And he and his slaves poured themselves out against them by night and smote them and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16. And he recovered all the goods and also brought again his brother Lot and his goods and the women also and the people.
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 valley of the king.
18. Then Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God.
19. And he blessed him and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of the heavens and of the earth;
20. and blessed be the most high God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And Abram gave him tithes of all.
21. Then 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 lifted up my hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of the heavens and of the earth,
23. that I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet; I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou should say, I have made Abram rich,
24. except only that which the young men have eaten and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, who shall take their portion.
