AT that time Kedorla'omer king of Eylam sent to all the neighboring kings, to Nimrod, king of Shin'ar who was then under his power, and to Tid'al, king of Nations, and to Aryok, king of Ellacar, with whom he cut a covenant, saying, Come up to me and assist me, that we may smite all the towns of Cedom and its inhabitants, for they have rebelled against me these thirteen years.
And these four kings went up with all their camps, about eight hundred thousand men, and they went as they were, and smote every man they found in their road.
And the five kings of Cedom and Amorah, Shin'av king of Admah, Shem'ever king of Tseviyiym, Bera king of Cedom, Bersha king of Amorah, and Bela king of Tso'ar, went out to meet them, and they all joined together in the valley of Siddiym.
And these nine kings made war in the valley of Siddiym; and the kings of Cedom and Amorah were smitten before the kings of Eylam.
And the valley of Siddiym was full of lime pits and the kings of Eylam pursued the kings of Cedom, and the kings of Cedom with their camps fled and fell into the lime pits, and all that remained went to the mountain for safety, and the five kings of Eylam came after them and pursued them to the gates of Cedom, and they took all that there was in Cedom.
And they plundered all the cities of Cedom and Amorah, and they also took Lot, Avram's brother's son, and his property, and they seized all the goods of the cities of Cedom, and they went away; and Unic, Avram's servant, who was in the battle, saw this, and told Avram all that the kings had done to the cities of Cedom, and that Lot was taken captive by them.
And Avram heard this, and he rose up with about three hundred and eighteen men that were with him, and he that night pursued these kings and smote them, and they all fell before Avram and his men, and there was none remaining but the four kings who fled, and they went each his own road.
And Avram recovered all the property of Cedom, and he also recovered Lot and his property, his women and little ones and all belonging to him, so that Lot lacked nothing.
And when he returned from smiting these kings, he and his men passed the valley of Siddiym where the kings had made war together.
And Bera king of Cedom, and the rest of his men that were with him, went out from the lime pits into which they had fallen, to meet Avram and his men.
And Adoniy-Tsedeq king of Yerushalayim, the same was Shem, went out with his men to meet Avram and his people, with bread and wine, and they remained together in the valley of Melek.
And Adoniy-Tsedeq blessed Avram, and Avram gave him a tenth from all that he had brought from the spoil of his enemies, for Adoniy-Tsedeq was a priest before Elohiym.
And all the kings of Cedom and Amorah who were there, with their servants, approached Avram and begged of him to return them their servants whom he had made captive, and to take unto himself all the property.
And Avram answered the kings of Cedom, saying, As Yahuah lives who created heaven and earth, and who redeemed my soul from all affliction, and who delivered me this day from my enemies, and gave them into my hand, I will not take anything belonging to you, that you may not boast tomorrow, saying, Avram became rich from our property that he saved.
For Yahuah Elohai in whom I trust said unto me, You shall lack nothing, for I will bless you in all the works of your hands.
And now therefore behold, here is all belonging to you, take it and go; as Yahuah lives I will not take from you from a living soul down to a shoe tie or thread, excepting the expense of the food of those who went out with me to battle, as also the portions of the men who went with me, Anar, Ashcol, and Mamre, they and their men, as well as those also who had remained to watch the baggage, they shall take their portion of the spoil.
And the kings of Cedom gave Avram according to all that he had said, and they pressed him to take of whatsoever he chose, but he would not.
And he sent away the kings of Cedom and the remainder of their men, and he gave them orders about Lot, and they went to their respective places.
And Lot, his brother's son, he also sent away with his property, and he went with them, and Lot returned to his home, to Cedom, and Avram and his people returned to their home to the plains of Mamre, which is in Chevron.
At that time Yahuah again appeared to Avram in Chevron, and he said to him, do not fear, your reward is very great before me, for I will not leave you, until I shall have multiplied you, and blessed you and made your seed like the stars in heaven, which cannot be measured nor numbered.
And I will give unto your seed all these lands that you see with your eyes, to them will I give them for an inheritance forever, only be strong and do not fear, walk before me and be perfect.
And in the seventy eighth year of the life of Avram, in that year died Re'u, the son of Peleg, and all the days of Re'u were two hundred and thirty nine years, and he died.
And Sarai, the daughter of Haran, Avram's woman, was still barren in those days; she did not bear to Avram either son or daughter.
And when she saw that she bore no children she took her handmaid Ha'ger, whom Phar'oh had given her, and she gave her to Avram her man for a woman.
For Ha'ger learned all the ways of Sarai as Sarai taught her, she was not in any way deficient in following her good ways.
And Sarai said to Avram, Behold here is my handmaid Ha'ger, go to her that she may bring forth upon my knees, that I may also obtain children through her.
And at the end of ten years of Avram's dwelling in the land of Kena`an, which is the eighty fifth year of Avram's life, Sarai gave Ha'ger unto him.
And Avram hearkened to the voice of his woman Sarai, and he took his handmaid Ha'ger and Avram came to her and she conceived.
And when Ha'ger saw that she had conceived she rejoiced greatly, and her mistress was despised in her eyes, and she said within herself, This can only be that I am better before Elohiym than Sarai my mistress, for all the days that my mistress has been with my adoniy, she did not conceive, but me Yahuah has caused in so short a time to conceive by him.
And when Sarai saw that Ha'ger had conceived by Avram, Sarai was jealous of her handmaid, and Sarai said within herself, This is surely nothing else but that she must be better than I am.
And Sarai said unto Avram, My wrong be upon you, for at the time when you did pray before Yahuah for children why did you not pray on my account, that Yahuah should give me seed from you?
And when I speak to Ha'ger in your presence, she despises my words, because she has conceived, and you will say nothing to her; may Yahuah judge between me and you for what you have done to me.
And Avram said to Sarai, Behold your handmaid is in your hand, do unto her as it may seem good in your eyes; and Sarai afflicted her, and Ha'ger fled from her to the wilderness.
And an angel of Yahuah found her in the place where she had fled, by a well, and he said to her, do not fear, for I will multiply your seed, for you shall bear a son and you shall call his name Yishma'el; now then return to Sarai your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.
And Ha'ger called the place of that well Be'er La-Chai Ro'iy, it is between Qadesh and the wilderness of Bered.
And Ha'ger at that time returned to her adoniy's house, and at the end of days Ha'ger bore a son to Avram, and Avram called his name Yishma'el; and Avram was eighty six years old when he begat him.
