Genesis 14:5

3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim ^a(that is, the Salt Sea).

4 Twelve years ^athey served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

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.

7 Then they turned back and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt ^ain Hazezon Tamar.

8 And the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out and joined together in battle in the Valley of Siddim

9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of nations, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.

10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of ^aasphalt pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled; some fell there, and the remainder fled ^bto the mountains.

Genesis 14:5

Rephaims - A people of Canaan: Genesis 15:20.

Ashteroth - A city of Basan, where Og afterwards reigned; Joshua 13:31.

Zuzims - Nowhere else spoken of, unless they were the same with the Zamzummims, Deuteronomy 2:20, as some imagine.

Emims - A people great and many in the days of Moses, and tall as the Anakim. They dwelt among the Moabites, by whom they were reputed giants; Deuteronomy 2:10, Deuteronomy 2:11.

Shaveh Kiriathaim - Rather, as the margin, the plain of Kiriathaim, which was a city afterwards belonging to Sihon king of Heshbon; Joshua 13:19.
