1 En aquél tiempo Amrafel era el rey de Sumeria, y se había aliado con Arioc, rey de Elasar, Quedorlaómer, rey de Elam, y con Tidal, rey de Goyim. 2 Juntos atacaron a Bera, el rey de Sodoma, a Birsá, rey de Gomorra, a Sinab, rey de Admá, a Semeber, rey de Zeboyín, y al rey de Bela (que también se le conocía como Zoar). 3 Todos estos en el segundo grupo se aliaron en el Valle de Sidín (el valle del Mar Muerto). 4 Habían estado bajo el gobierno de Quedorlaómer durante doce años, pero en el decimotercer año se rebelaron contra él. 5 En el decimocuarto año, Querdolaómer los invadió junto con sus reyes aliados. Vencieron a los refaítas en Astarot Carnayin, a los zuzitas en Jam, a los emitas en Save Quiriatayin, 6 y a los horeos en su propia región montañosa de Seir, llegando hasta El Parán, junto al desierto. 7 Entonces regresaron y atacaron a Enmispat (conocida también como Cades) y conquistaron todo el país que le pertenecía a los amalecitas, así como a los amorreos que vivían en Jazezón Tamar. 8 Entonces los reyes de Sodoma, Gomorra, Admá, Zeboyín y Bela (es decir, Zoar), marcharon y se prepararon para la batalla en el Valle de Sidín. 9 Pelearon contra Quedorlaómer, rey de Elam; Tidal, rey de Goyim; Amrafel, rey de Sumeria; y Aric, rey de Elasar. Eran cuatro reyes uno al lado del otro contra cinco. 10 En ese tiempo, había muchos pozos de alquitrán en el Valle de Sidín, y cuando los reyes de Sodoma y Gomorra huían tras ser vencidos, algunos de sus hombres cayeron en ellos, mientras los demás corrieron hacia las montañas. 11 Los invasores saquearon todas las posesiones y alimento de Sodoma y Gomorra, y se fueron. 12 También capturaron a Lot, el sobrino de Abram, y tomaron sus posesiones, porque también vivía en Sodoma. 13 Pero uno de los capturados escapó y fue a decirle a Abram el hebreo lo que había sucedido. Abram vivía entre los robles de Mamré el amorreo, quien era hermano de Escol y Aner. Todos ellos eran aliados de Abram. 14 Cuando Abram se enteró de que su sobrino había sido capturado, convocó a 318 hombres guerreros que habían nacido en su hogar para que los persiguieran hasta llegar a Dan. 15 Allí dividió a sus hombres en grupos y atacaron por la noche, venciendo al enemigo y persiguiéndolos hasta llegar a Hobá, al norte de Damasco. 16 Abram recuperó todo lo que ellos habían tomado, incluyendo a Lot y sus posesiones, y además trajo consigo a las mujeres y a otras personas que habían sido capturadas. 17 Cuando Abram regresó después de conquistar a Quedorlaómer y a sus aliados, el rey de Sodoma salió a su encuentro en el Valle de Save (o Valle del Rey). 18 Melquisedec, rey de Salem, trajo pan y vino. Él era sacerdote del Dios Altísimo. 19 Y bendijo a Abram, diciéndole: “Que tú, Abram, seas bendito por el Altísimo, Creador del cielo y de la tierra. 20 Que el Altísimo sea alabado, por entregar en tu mano a tus enemigos”. Entonces Abram le dio a Melquisedec una décima parte de todo. 21 El rey de Sodoma le dijo a Abram: “Devuélveme a mi gente, y quédate con todo lo demás”. 22 Pero Abram le respondió al rey de Sodoma: “Levanto mi mano, haciendo una promesa solemne al Señor, al Dios Altísimo, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, 23 que me niego a guardar cualquiera de tus pertenencias, ni siquiera un hilo ni la correa de una sandalia. De lo contrario podrías decir: ‘¡Yo fui quien hizo rico a Abram!’ 24 Por lo tanto no me quedaré con nada, excepto lo que mis hombres han comido, y la parte de los que me han acompañado, es decir, permite que Aner, Escol, y Mamré conserven su parte”.

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.

  2. Quotes verse 14:18 Augustine of Hippo, On Christian Doctrine (Book IV, Chapter 21)

    … 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.
