2 went to war against ⌊five kings⌋—King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
3 The five kings joined forces and met in the valley of Siddim (that is, the Dead Sea).
4 For 12 years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and his allies came and defeated the Rephaim at Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim at Ham, the Emim at Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 and the Horites in the hill country of Seir, going as far as El Paran on the edge of the desert.
7 On their way back, they came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites and also the Amorites who were living at Hazazon Tamar.
8 Then the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and prepared for battle in the valley of Siddim.
