The Koine Bible

And it came to pass in the kingship of Amarphal king of Sennaar, Arioch king of Ellasar, and Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations.

They made war with Balla king of Sodom and with Barsa king of Gomorrah and Sennaar king of Adama and Symobor king of Zeboiim and the king of Balak; this is Segor.

All these came together at the Salt Valley; this is the Sea of Salt.

Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

And in the fourteenth year Chodollogomor came, and the kings with him, and they cut down the giants who were in Astaroth Karnaim and the strong nations with them, and the Ommaeans who were in Saue, the city

and the Horrites who were in the mountains of Seir as far as the terebinth of Paran, which is in the wilderness

And they turned back and came to the spring of judgment; this is Kadesh; and they cut down all the rulers of Amalek and the Amorrites who were dwelling in Asasanthamar.

And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Adama and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Balak, this is Zoar, went out and drew up in battle line against them in the Salt Valley

against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of nations and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar, the four kings against the five

Now the salt valley had wells of bitumen wells; and the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and the ones left behind fled into the hill country

And they took all the horse of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and departed

And they also took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, and his goods, and they departed; for he was dwelling in Sodom.

And one of those who had been rescued came and reported to Abram the Hebrew, and he was dwelling by the oak of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and the brother of Aner, who were allies of Abram

And when Abram heard that Lot his brother had been taken captive, he numbered his own household slaves, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued after them as far as Dan.

And he fell upon them by night, he and his servants, and struck them and pursued them as far as Choba, which is on the left of Damascus

And he brought back all the horsemen of Sodom, and Lot his brother he brought back, and his possessions, and the women, and the people.

And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his returning from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and of the kings with him, to the valley of Shaveh; this was the king’s plain.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine, and he was priest of God Most High

And he blessed Abram and said, Blessed be Abram by God Most High, who created the heaven and the earth.

And blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies under your hand; and he gave him a tenth from all things

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the horses for yourself.

But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I will stretch out my hand to the most high God, who created heaven and the earth

if from a thread to a shoe strap I shall take from all things that are yours, so that you may not say, I enriched Abram

except what the young men ate, and the share of the men who went with me, Eshcol, Aner, and Mamre; these shall take their share
