11 Then they took aall the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way.
12 They also took Lot, Abram’s abrother’s son bwho dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13 Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the aHebrew, for bhe dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner; cand they were allies with Abram.
14 Now awhen Abram heard that bhis brother was taken captive, he armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants who were cborn in his own house, and went in pursuit das far as Dan.
15 He divided his forces against them by night, and he and his servants aattacked them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
