Genesis 14:7

Compare all

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 14:7

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.
