Genesis 14

1And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;

2That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

3All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

4Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

5And 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 Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.

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

8And there went out the king of Sodom, 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 joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;

9With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.

10And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.

11And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

12And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13¶ And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.

14And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

15And 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.

16And he brought back 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 king’s dale.

18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

19And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

20And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

21And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

22And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

23That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

24Save 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.

Principles

Only the text of Scripture

  1. Only the 66 books of the Bible. There are no other texts here.
  2. Only established translations. Public-domain texts, word for word: KJV, ASV, WEB, BSB, YLT, the Russian Synodal and the Ukrainian translation by Kulish, Puluj and Nechuy-Levytsky. Licensed translations only with a license.
  3. No interpretation. No explanations, sermons or advice.
  4. No traditions. No church calendars and no denominational positions.
  5. AI selects passages; every word you read comes from the translation. The model only picks references, and the code checks each one. The text on screen is never written by AI.
  6. No ads, no tracking. No account; your history stays on your device. We only count anonymous visits (country and section of the site), without cookies and without storing IP addresses.

One exception: the collapsed "Outside the Bible: historical note", written by an editor.

Support

Everything here is free. For everyone. Always.

No ads, no sign-up, nothing paid. Every part of LampWay is open to everyone, and it will stay that way.

Two goals of LampWay

  1. For those who have never opened the Bible. Ask a question in your own words: about fear, money, family, about what hurts. The answer comes in the words of Scripture. No sermons, no hard words, just the text that has given people hope for centuries.
  2. For those who have read it for years. All 66 books, several official translations side by side, one verse numbering, meaning-based search and a one-year reading plan. All in one place, free and without sign-up.

Was there a verse that changed everything?

If you ever found an answer in the pages of Scripture, to pain, to fear, to a question you could not face alone, please share it with us.

We create content for different people and in different languages. Your question, and the verse that answered it, may help someone find peace, wisdom and the strength to go on. The very verse that made you cry. It may help just one person. Or it may help thousands.

Just choose a topic and write the verse: the full text or simply the reference (book, chapter, verse). Our scripts will find it and check it against the text of the Bible.

By sending, you allow LampWay to use your topic, question and verse anonymously in project content. We don't know who you are.
