1 Now it came about in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,
2 that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (this is Zoar).
3 All of these kings joined forces in the Valley of the Siddim (this is the Salt Sea).
4 For 12 years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
