Genesis 14:1In that country there were 2 groups of kings. In the first group there were 4 kings and they worked together. And there were 5 kings in the second group and they worked together. Every king had their own army of fighting men. King Kedor-lay-omer was the boss over all the kings in both groups and he lived in a place called Elam. Here are the names of the other 3 kings in the first group, and where they lived, King Amrafel of Babylonia, King Arioch of Ellasar, and King Tidal of Goy-im. Here is a list of the 2nd group of kings and where they lived, King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shem-eber of Zeboy-im, and the King of Bela. Zoar is the other name for Bela. King Kedor-lay-omer was the boss over all the kings for 12 years. Then, at the end of the 12 years, the group of 5 kings turned against King Kedor-lay-omer. King Kedor-lay-omer and the other 3 kings in his group got really upset about that and a year later they went down to fight the group of 5 kings. On the way they stopped to fight with some other people groups. This is a list of those people and where they lived. The Refaites in Ash-ter-oth Karnay-im, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shar-vay Kiriath-ay-im, and the Hoorites in the hill country of Edom. King Kedor-lay-omer's men went on fighting those people all the way to a place called El-Paran, near the dry country. King Kedor-lay-omer and his group were the winners over all these people and they went back to the town of En-Mishpat, the other name for that town was Kadesh. They took all the land that belonged to the Amal-kite (Amalekite) people. And then they had a fight with the Amorite people who were living in Hazezon-Tamar. King Kedor-lay-omer and his group were the winners. When all those fights were finished, they marched to the Dead Sea that is in the plain country called the Valley of Siddim. The armies of the 5 kings that had turned away from King Kedor-lay-omer were waiting for him and the other 3 kings and their armies. Both groups of armies lined up and faced each other ready to fight. It was 4 kings and their armies against 5 kings and their armies. Kedor-lay-omer and his group of 3 kings were the winners over the 5 kings and their armies. In that plain country called the Valley of Siddim there were a lot of holes in the ground full of sticky black stuff called tar. When the fight was finished, the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and their armies ran away. Some of the men fell into those tar pits and the rest of the men ran away up into the hills.
