1-4Now there were many kings living in that land, at that time. They fought against each other. One fight happened when Kedorlaomer had ruled over the other kings for 12 years. And in the next year, five kings made one group and they fought against him. Kedorlaomer joined with three other kings. So it was four kings against five other kings.
The four kings were Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of Goyim. Those kings fought a war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela. (Bela is another name for the town of Zoar.) They fought in Siddim Valley. (That is the Valley of the Salt Sea.)
