1 En tiempos de Amrafel, rey de Sinar; Arioc, rey de Elasar; Quedorlaomer, rey de Elam; y Tidal, rey de Goim, 2 estos reyes hicieron guerra contra Bera, rey de Sodoma; Birsa, rey de Gomorra; Sinab, rey de Adma; Semeber, rey de Zeboim; y el rey de Bela, que es Zoar. 3 Estos cinco últimos unieron sus fuerzas en el valle de Sidim, que es el mar Salado. 4 Durante doce años habían estado bajo el poder de Quedorlaomer, pero en el año trece se rebelaron contra él. 5 En el año catorce, Quedorlaomer y los reyes que estaban con él derrotaron a los refaítas en Astarot Karnaim, a los zuzim en Ham y a los emim en Save Quiriataim. 6 También derrotaron a los horeos en los montes de Seir y los persiguieron hasta El-Parán, cerca del desierto. 7 Luego regresaron a En-mispat, que es Cades, y destruyeron toda la región de los amalecitas y también a los amorreos que vivían en Hazezon-tamar. 8 Entonces los reyes de Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma, Zeboim y Bela, que es Zoar, salieron y prepararon sus fuerzas para la batalla en el valle de Sidim. 9 Lucharon contra Quedorlaomer, rey de Elam; Tidal, rey de Goim; Amrafel, rey de Sinar; y Arioc, rey de Elasar. Eran cuatro reyes contra cinco. 10 El valle de Sidim estaba lleno de pozos de asfalto. Cuando los reyes de Sodoma y Gomorra huyeron, cayeron allí. Los demás escaparon a las montañas. 11 Los cuatro reyes tomaron todos los bienes y alimentos de Sodoma y Gomorra y se fueron. 12 También se llevaron a Lot, hijo del hermano de Abram, junto con todos sus bienes, porque Lot vivía en Sodoma. 13 Uno de los que escaparon llegó y se lo contó a Abram el hebreo. Abram vivía junto a las encinas de Mamre el amorreo, hermano de Escol y Aner, quienes eran aliados de Abram. 14 Cuando Abram oyó que su pariente había sido tomado prisionero, reunió a trescientos dieciocho hombres entrenados que habían nacido en su casa y salió en persecución hasta Dan. 15 Durante la noche Abram dividió a sus hombres en grupos, atacó a los reyes y los derrotó. Los persiguió hasta Hoba, al norte de Damasco. 16 Así recuperó todos los bienes y también a Lot, su pariente, con sus bienes, las mujeres y la demás gente. 17 Cuando Abram regresó después de derrotar a Quedorlaomer y a los reyes que estaban con él, el rey de Sodoma salió a recibirlo en el valle de Save, que es el Valle del Rey. 18 Melquisedec, rey de Salem y sacerdote del Dios Altísimo, llevó pan y vino. 19 Bendijo a Abram diciendo: «Que el Dios Altísimo, creador del cielo y de la tierra, bendiga a Abram. 20 Alabado sea el Dios Altísimo, que entregó a tus enemigos en tus manos». Entonces Abram le dio la décima parte de todo. 21 El rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: «Dame las personas y quédate con los bienes». 22 Pero Abram respondió al rey de Sodoma: «He jurado al Señor, el Dios Altísimo, creador del cielo y de la tierra, 23 que no tomaré nada de lo que es tuyo, ni siquiera un hilo o la correa de una sandalia. Así nunca podrás decir: “Yo hice rico a Abram”. 24 No aceptaré nada para mí, excepto lo que comieron mis hombres. Pero que Aner, Escol y Mamre reciban la parte que les corresponde».

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 14:22 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Preface)

    For faith towards God justifies a man; and therefore he said, "I will stretch forth my hand to the most high God, who made the heaven and the earth." All these truths, however, do those holding perverse opinions endeavour to overthrow, because of one passage, which they certainly do not understand correctly.

    … Lord's supper prefigured in the case of Melchizedek the priest, according to the testimony of the Holy Scriptures, where it says: And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed Abraham.' Now, that Melchizedek was a type of Christ, the Holy Spirit declares in the Psalms, …

  3. Quotes verse 14:14 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXV)

    Yea, the patriarch himself we admire for this, that in his own person he ran to the herd, and snatched up the calf, and that, when he had three hundred and eighteen servants born in his house. But now some are filled with so much pride, as to do these things by servants, and not to be ashamed.

  4. Quotes verse 14:18 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book IV, Chapters XII–XIII)
