Flash to a massive throwdown: Kings Amraphel of Shinar, Arioch of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer of Elam, and Tidal going against Sodom's Bera, Gomorrah's Birsha, Admah's Shinab, Zeboiim's Shemeber, and Zoar's king. These five kings got into it after serving Chedorlaomer for 12 years and rebelling the 13th. They teamed up in Siddim Valley, aka the Dead Sea now. After 12 years, they ditched Chedorlaomer, leading to year 14 chaos.

Chedorlaomer and his allies rolled through, smashing various tribes along the way. They wrecked everyone from Ashteroth to Elparan by the desert. Then swung back, hitting Kadesh, wiping out Amalekites and Amorites living in Hazezon-tamar.

Sodom's king and his buddies tried to stand their ground in Siddim Valley. It was a royal rumble: four kings against five. Siddim Valley was a slimepit mess. Sodom and Gomorrah's kings fled, fell into pits, while survivors headed for the hills. Winners took all Sodom and Gomorrah's loot and food and dipped. They also snatched Lot, Abram's nephew, chilling in Sodom, and his stuff.

A survivor spilled the beans to Abram, who was living near Mamre the Amorite, bros with Eshcol and Aner, all tight with Abram. Hearing Lot was caught, Abram rallied his 318 trained dudes and went after them all the way to Dan. Night raid style, Abram and his crew struck, chasing them to Hobah, north of Damascus. Abram rescued Lot, his goods, the women, and everyone else.

Returning from victory over Chedorlaomer and his king squad, Sodom's king met Abram in Shaveh Valley, the king's turf.

Melchizedek, Salem's king and God's high priest, brought out bread and wine. He blessed Abram, saying, "Big up to Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, and big up to God Most High for handing your enemies to you." Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

Sodom's king was like, "Give me the people, keep the stuff for yourself."

But Abram was like, "I swore to God Most High, Creator of everything, I won't take a thread or sandal strap from you, so you can't say, 'I made Abram rich.' Only gonna take what my crew already ate. Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, who rolled with me, they'll grab their share, but that's it."
