And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 Then they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply, and departed. | 11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. | 11 So the four kings took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as all their food, and left. | 11 They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way. | 11 And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed. | 12 They also took Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions and departed, for he was living in Sodom. | 12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. | 12 They also took Abram's nephew Lot and his possessions since he was living in Sodom. | 12 They took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. | 12 And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom. | 13 Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram. | 13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. | 13 Then a soldier who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew what had happened. He was living next to the oak trees belonging to Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner. (These men were Abram's allies.) | 13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram. | 13 And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies. | 14 When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. | 14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. | 14 When Abram heard that his nephew had been captured, he armed his 318 trained men, born in his own household, and pursued the four kings all the way to Dan. | 14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan. | 14 And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his trained servants, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them as far as Dan. | 15 He divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus. | 15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. | 15 He split up his men to attack them at night.

| 21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give the people to me and take the goods for yourself." | 21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. | 21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and keep everything else for yourself." | 21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the goods to yourself." | 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself. | 22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to the LORD God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, | 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, | 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I now raise my hand and solemnly swear to the LORD God Most High, maker of heaven and earth, | 22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, | 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High �God, possessor of heavens and earth, | 23 that I will not take a thread or a sandal thong or anything that is yours, for fear you would say, 'I have made Abram rich.' | 23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: | 23 that I won't take a thread or a sandal strap. I won't take anything that is yours so that you will never be able to say, 'I made Abram rich.' | 23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.' | 23 if from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take anything ...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich; | 24 "I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share." | 24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion. | 24 I won't take one single thing except what my men have eaten. But let my allies Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share." | 24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion." | 24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion. |
