17亚伯兰大败基大老玛及其盟军后凯旋归来，所多玛王到沙微谷来迎接他们。沙微谷即王谷。18撒冷王麦基洗德也带着饼和酒出来相迎，他是至高上帝的祭司。19他祝福亚伯兰说： “愿创造天地的主、至高的上帝赐福给亚伯兰！20将敌人交在你手中的至高上帝当受称颂！” 于是，亚伯兰把所得的十分之一给麦基洗德。21所多玛王对亚伯兰说：“请把我的人民交还给我，你可以把财物拿去。”22亚伯兰对他说：“我向创造天地的主、至高的上帝耶和华起誓，23凡是你的东西，就是一根线、一条鞋带，我都不会拿，免得你说，‘我使亚伯兰发了财！’24除了我的随从已经吃用的以外，我什么也不要。至于我的盟友亚乃、以实各和幔利所应得的战利品，请分给他们。”

Abram Rescues Lot
1In the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,2these kings made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).3And all these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).4Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.5In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,6and the Horites in their hill country of Seir as far as El-paran on the border of the wilderness.7Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh) and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who were dwelling in Hazazon-tamar.8Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim9with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five.10Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the hill country.11So the enemy took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way.12They also took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who was dwelling in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way.13Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the oaks* of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner. These were allies of Abram.14When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.15And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus.16Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his kinsman Lot with his possessions, and the women and the people.
Abram Blessed by Melchizedek
17After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.)19And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor* of heaven and earth;20and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.21And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.”22But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted my hand* to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth,23that I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’24I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.”
