5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him came and attacked athe Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, bthe Zuzim in Ham, cthe Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,  
6 aand the Horites in their mountain of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is by the wilderness.

Genesis 14:7

En-mishpat - The well of judgment; probably so called from the judgment pronounced by God on Moses and Aaron for their rebellion at that place; Numbers 20:1-10.

Amalekites - So called afterwards, from Amalek, son of Esau; Genesis 36:12.

Hazezon-tamar - Called, in the Chaldee, Engaddi; a city in the land of Canaan, which fell to the lot of Judah; Joshua 15:62. See also II Chronicles 20:2. It appears, from Song of Songs 1:14, to have been a very fruitful place.
