Revi’i

  1. The battle of the 4 and 5 kings:
  • Amrafel, the king of Shinar, Aryoch the king of Elasar, Kedarla’omer the king of Ailam, and Tidal the king of Goyim waged war with Bera the king of Sodom, Birsha the king of Amorah, Shinav the king of Admah, Shemaiver the king of Tzevoyim, and Bela the king of Tzoar. They waged war in the valley of Sidim, which is the dead sea.
  • For 12 years the five kings served Kedarla’omer and for 13 years they rebelled. In the 14th year, Kedarla’omer came with his three allies and waged war against them. The four kings overtook the five kings and their people fled.
  • Lot was taken captive during the war, and a certain fugitive came and informed Avraham of what occurred.
  • When Avraham heard this, he went out to wage war with members of his house, a total of 318, and he chased the four kings until Dan. He was successful in overcoming the four kings and drove them out until Damascus.
  • King of Sodom/Malki Tzedek: Avraham returned all the stolen property, and returned Lot and the people, back [to their homes]. The king of Sodom came to greet Avraham after the victory. Malki Tzedek, the king of Shaleim, came to greet Avraham and offered him bread and wine. He then gave praise to Hashem for protecting Avraham.
  • Avraham gave Maaser to him from all his possessions.
