made war with Balla king of Sodom and with Barsa king of Gomorra and Sennaar king of Adama and Symobor king of Seboim and the king of Balak, which is Segor.
And in the fourteenth year Chodollogomor came, and the kings who were with him, and they cut down the giants who were in Astaroth Karnain, and strong nations together with them, and the Ommaeans who were in Saue the city,
And turning back they came to the spring of judgment, which is Kades, and they cut down all the rulers of Amalek and the Amorrites who dwelt in Asasanthamar.
And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorra and the king of Adama and the king of Seboim and the king of Balak, which is Segor, and they arrayed themselves against them for battle in the salt valley,
against Chodollogomor king of Ailam and Thargal king of nations and Amarphal king of Sennaar and Arioch king of Ellasar: the four kings against the five.
Now the salt valley had wells, wells of asphalt; and the king of Sodom fled, and the king of Gomorra, and they fell in there; and those who were left fled to the hill country.
And one of those who had escaped came and reported it to Abram the crosser; and he was dwelling by the oak of Mambre the Amorite, brother of Eschol and brother of Aunan, who were confederates of Abram.
And when Abram heard that Lot his brother had been taken captive, he numbered his own homeborn servants, three hundred eighteen, and pursued after them as far as Dan.
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodollogomor and the kings who were with him, into the valley of Saue; this was the plain of the king.
