Genesis 14:9 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 14:9

With Chedorlaomer king of Elam
Who is here mentioned first, being the principal in the war, and against whom the kings of Sodom had rebelled: and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and
Arioch king of Ellasar;
who were his allies, confederates, and auxiliaries: four kings with five;
those four last mentioned, with the other five before spoken of, that is, they fought with them; or rather four kings against five, as the Vulgate Latin and Tigurine versions, and some others.
