And in this year came Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Sêllâsar and Têrgâl, king of nations,

and slew the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Sodom fled, and many fell through wounds in the vale of Siddim, by the Salt Sea. And they took captive Sodom and Adam and Zeboim,

and they took captive Lot also, the son of Abram's brother, and all his possessions, and they went to Dan.

And one who had escaped came and told Abram that his brother's son

had been taken captive and (Abram) armed his household servants.
