Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go
וַיֵּצֵ֣א מֶֽלֶךְ־סְדֹם֮
and=he/it_went_out king Şədom
Consider whether came or “went” is more natural here in your language. Alternate translation: “Then the king over the city of Sodom went out”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
לִקְרָאתוֹ֒
to,meet,him
Alternate translation: “to greet him” or “and welcomed Abram”
אֶל עֵ֣מֶק שָׁוֵ֔ה
to/towards valley Shaveh
Alternate translation: “in the Shaveh Valley,”
אַחֲרֵ֣י שׁוּב֗וֹ
after return,his
When Abram reached the Shaveh Valley, he was still about 20 miles (30 kilometers) north of his home, which was near the city of Hebron (Gen 13:18). Alternate translation: “as he was returning home” or “as he was going back home”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מֵֽהַכּוֹת֙
from,defeating
See how you translated “struck” in verse 15. Alternate translation: “after defeating” or “after he defeated”
אֶת כְּדָרלָעֹ֔מֶר
DOM Chedorlaomer
Be consistent here with how you spelled this name previously in this chapter; see verses 1, 4-5, 9, 17. Alternate translation: “King Kedorlaomer and his army”
וְאֶת הַמְּלָכִ֖ים
and=DOM the,kings
Alternate translation: “and the armies of the other three kings”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֑וֹ
which/who with=him/it
For some languages it may be better to put the clauses of this verse in the order that the events actually happened. For example you could say, “After Abram defeated King Kedorlaomer/Chedorlaomer and the other three kings who were Kedorlaomer’s/Chedorlaomer’s allies, he started to return home. When Abram reached the Shaveh Valley, that is, the King’s Valley, the king over the city of Sodom came/went there and greeted/welcomed him.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “who had joined themselves with Kedorlaomer”
14:17 The valley of Shaveh or King’s Valley was probably the Kidron Valley (see 2 Sam 18:18).
