← Genesis 14:12	Genesis 14:13 (KJV)	Genesis 14:14 →
And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.	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.	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.
