¹ And it came to passe in the dayes of Amraphel King of Shinar, Arioch King of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer King of Elam, and Tidal King of nations:

² That these made warre with Bera King of Sodome, 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 ioyned together in the vale of Siddim; which is the salt Sea.

⁴ Twelue yeeres they serued Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth yeere they rebelled.

⁵ And in the fourteenth yeere came Chedorlaomer, and the Kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims, in Ashteroth Karnaim, & the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaueh Kiriathaim;

⁶ And the Horites in their mount Seir, vnto El-Paran, which is by the wildernesse.

⁷ And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, & smote all the countrey of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.

⁸ And there went out the King of Sodome, 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 ioyned battell 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; foure Kings with fiue.

¹⁰ And the vale of Siddim was full of slime-pits: and the Kings of Sodome & Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained, fled to the mountaine.

¹¹ And they tooke all the goods of Sodome and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

¹² And they tooke Lot, Abrams brothers sonne, (who dwelt in Sodome) and his goods, and departed.

¹³ ¶ And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew, for hee dwelt in the plaine 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 captiue, he armed his trained seruants borne in his owne house, three hundred and eighteene, and pursued them vnto Dan.

¹⁵ And hee diuided himselfe against them, he and his seruants by night, and smote them, and pursued them vnto Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus:

¹⁶ And hee brought backe all the goods, and also brought againe his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

¹⁷ ¶ And the king of Sodome went out to meete him, (after his returne from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the Kings that were with him) at the valley of Saueh, which is the Kings dale.

¹⁸ And Melchizedek King of Salem brought foorth bread and wine: and he was the Priest of the most high God.

¹⁹ And hee blessed him, and saide; Blessed bee Abram of the most high God, possessour of heauen and earth,

²⁰ And blessed bee the most high God, which hath deliuered thine enemies into thy hand: and hee gaue him tithes of all.

²¹ And the King of Sodome said vnto Abram, giue me the persons, and take the goods to thy selfe.

²² And Abram said to the King of Sodome, I haue lift vp my hand vnto the LORD, the most high God, the possessour of heauen and earth,

²³ That I wil not take from a threed euen to a shoe latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I haue made Abram rich:

²⁴ Saue onely that which the yong men haue eaten, and the portion of the men which went with mee, Aner, Eschol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

@Rita, Abraham did not go to Sodom to take away their possessions, He went to free his nephew from a sinful and abominable land. Abraham did not want anyone to say that he did not trust God to provide for him.

confusing. why the king of sodom ask the persons/souls?

Enoch Gyas's Genesis Chapter 14 comment about verse 18 on 4/12/2013, 9:45am...

This man Melchizedek can't be Shem, as others assert, but I believe that this man is the revelation of Christ in the old testament, since he had the same names and attributes as Christ. And we know that its only Christ that can bear such titles and offices.
We must realize that the word is full of mysteries that only God can explain.

Gugu's Genesis Chapter 14 comment on 2/02/2013, 12:26am...

Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Lord Jesus Christ of the New Testament. The bible says Jesus thought it not robbery to equal with God. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is three different offices or dispensation in which God works in or through. God above us the logos or Pillar of fire, God with us Jesus in the body to die for us and God in us the baptism of the Holy Spirit to give us power to live Christ like Life. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. God Bless you.

You know that God sent his only one son to die for us to be justified and he did that so that we would have a choice to decide, if we want to be a Christian or be like the devil. We wouldn't have choice did he not send his son. Thank you, Jesus. Praise God! Bless his holy name!

Gugu's Genesis Chapter 14 comment on 1/04/2013, 11:35pm...

Melchizedek is God!!! In the book of Hebrews 7:3, Paul says without father, without mother, without descent nor beginning of days nor end of life... Now if this Melchizedek is without beginning of days or end of life, then He still exists today. Only God (ELOHIM) has eternal life. There cannot be two God(s) existing together. Why? The bible says, behold Israel the Lord your God is one. God bless.

Abraham tithing was not of the law of God

Darice's Genesis Chapter 14 comment on 2/20/2012, 2:40am...

If you take the linage of Noah and look at their age and the age they had children and add this together...Shem (Noah's oldest son) lives 500 years after the flood and thus into 9 plus generations. Shem is also the linage of Abram. As a thought Melchizedek could be Shem.
