12 Avram’s nephew Lot and all his possessions also got taken because he was living in the city of Sedom, 13 but someone who escaped came and reported this news to Avram the Ivri (Hebrew). At that time, Avram was still living by the terebinth trees of Mamre the Amori, the brother of Eshkol and the brother of Aner, and the three of them had formed an alliance together. 14 When Avram heard that his nephew had been taken captive, he led out his 318 trained men who’d all been born in his house, and he pursued his enemies as far as the town of Dan. 15 During the night, Avram split in his slaves into groups and they attacked the four kings and their soldiers and pursued them to Hovah (north of Damesek (Damascus)). 16 They were able to bring back all the possessions, as well as his nephew Lot and his possessions, and also the women and the other people who’d been captured.
