息丁山谷遍地是沥青坑；索多玛王和哈摩辣王逃跑时都跌在坑里；其余的人都逃到山里去了。

那四个王子劫走了索多玛和哈摩辣所有的财物和一切食粮，
12takingwiththemAbram'snephewLot,whohadbeenlivinginSodom,aswellashispossessions.
连亚巴郎兄弟的儿子罗特和他的财物也带走了，因为那时他正住在索多玛。

有个逃出的人跑来，将这事告诉了希伯来人亚巴郎，他那时住在阿摩黎人玛默勒的橡树区；这阿摩黎人原是亚巴郎的盟友厄市苛耳和阿乃尔的兄弟。

夺回了所有的财物，连他的亲属罗特和他的财物，以及妇女和人民都夺回来了。

亚巴郎击败革多尔老默尔和与他联盟的王子回来时，索多玛王出来，到沙委山谷，即“君王山谷”迎接他。
185Melchizedek,kingofSalem,broughtoutbreadandwine,andbeingapriestofGodMostHigh,heblessedAbramwiththesewords:
撒冷王默基瑟德也带了饼酒来，他是至高者天主的司祭，
196BlessedbeAbrambyGodMostHigh,thecreatorofheavenandearth;
祝福他说：“愿亚巴郎蒙受天地的主宰，至高者天主的降福！
207AndblessedbeGodMostHigh,whodeliveredyourfoesintoyourhand."ThenAbramgavehimatenthofeverything.
愿将你的敌人交于你手中的至高者的天主受赞美！”亚巴郎遂将所得的，拿出十分之一，给了默基瑟德。
21ThekingofSodomsaidtoAbram,＂Givemethepeople;thegoodsyoumaykeep."
索多玛王对亚巴郎说：“请你将人交给我，财物你都拿去罢！”
228ButAbramrepliedtothekingofSodom:＂IhavesworntotheLORD,GodMostHigh,thecreatorofheavenandearth,
亚巴郎却对索多玛王说：“我向上主、至高者天主、天地的主宰举手起誓：
23thatIwouldnottakesomuchasathreadorasandalstrapfromanythingthatisyours,lestyoushouldsay,'ImadeAbramrich.'
凡属于你的，连一根线，一根鞋带，我也不拿，免得你说：我使亚巴郎发了财。
24Nothingformeexceptwhatmyservantshaveusedupandthesharethatisduetothemenwhojoinedme——Aner,EshcolandMamre;letthemtaketheirshare."
除仆从吃用了的以外，我什么也不要；至于与我同行的人阿乃尔、厄市苛耳和玛默勒所应得的一分，应让他们拿去。”
