The victors took all the possessions of S'dom and 'Amora and all their food supply; then they left.
12
But as they left, they took Lot, Avram's brother's son, and his possessions; since he was living in S'dom.
13
Someone who had escaped came and told Avram the Hebrew, who was living by the oaks of Mamre the Emori, brother of Eshkol and brother of 'Aner; all of them allies of Avram.

When Avram heard that his nephew had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, who had been born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.
15
During the night he and his servants divided his forces against them, then attacked and pursued them all the way to Hovah, north of Dammesek.
16
He recovered all the goods and brought back his nephew Lot with his goods, together with the women and the other people.
17
After his return from slaughtering K'dorla'omer and the kings with him, the king of S'dom went out to meet him in the Shaveh Valley, also known as the King's Valley.
18
Malki-Tzedek king of Shalem brought out bread and wine. He was cohen of El 'Elyon [God Most High],
19
so he blessed him with these words: "Blessed be Avram by El 'Elyon, maker of heaven of earth.
20
and blessed be El 'Elyon, who handed your enemies over to you." Avram gave him a tenth of everything.
21
The king of S'dom said to Avram, "Give me the people, and keep the goods for yourself."
