A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
WAR. (Gen. 14:1-24)

And it came to pass--This chapter presents Abram in the unexpected character of a warrior. The occasion was this: The king of Sodom and the kings of the adjoining cities, after having been tributaries for twelve years to the king of Elam, combined to throw off his yoke. To chastise their rebellion, as he deemed it, Chedorlaomer, with the aid of three allies, invaded the territories of the refractory princes, defeated them in a pitched battle where the nature of the ground favored his army (Gen 14:10), and hastened in triumph on his homeward march, with a large amount of captives and booty, though merely a stranger.

10 And the vale [06010] of Siddim [07708] was full of [0875] slimepits [0875] [02564]; and the kings [04428] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] fled [05127], and fell [05307] there; and they that remained [07604] fled [05127] to the mountain [02022].

9 With Chedorlaomer [03540] the king [04428] of Elam [05867], and with Tidal [08413] king [04428] of nations [01471], and Amraphel [0569] king [04428] of Shinar [08152], and Arioch [0746] king [04428] of Ellasar [0495]; four [0702] kings [04428] with five [02568].
10 And the vale [06010] of Siddim [07708] was full of [0875] slimepits [0875] [02564]; and the kings [04428] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] fled [05127], and fell [05307] there; and they that remained [07604] fled [05127] to the mountain [02022].
11 And they took [03947] all the goods [07399] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017], and all their victuals [0400], and went their way [03212].
12 And they took [03947] Lot [03876], Abram's [087] brother's [0251] son [01121], who dwelt [03427] in Sodom [05467], and his goods [07399], and departed [03212].
2 Then there came [0935] some that told [05046] Jehoshaphat [03092], saying [0559], There cometh [0935] a great [07227] multitude [01995] against thee from beyond [05676] the sea [03220] on this side Syria [0758]; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar [02688], which is Engedi [05872].
29 The Amalekites [06002] dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of the south [05045]: and the Hittites [02850], and the Jebusites [02983], and the Amorites [0567], dwell [03427] in the mountains [02022]: and the Canaanites [03669] dwell [03427] by the sea [03220], and by the coast [03027] of Jordan [03383].
12 Then Isaac [03327] sowed [02232] in that land [0776], and received [04672] in the same year [08141] an hundredfold [03967] [08180]: and the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] him.
14 Wherefore the well [0875] was called [07121] Beerlahairoi [0883] [02416]; behold, it is between Kadesh [06946] and Bered [01260].
7 And they returned [07725], and came [0935] to [0413] Enmishpat [05880], which is Kadesh [06946], and smote [05221] all the country [07704] of the Amalekites [06003], and also the Amorites [0567], that dwelt [03427] in Hazezontamar [02688].

8 And when we passed [05674] by from our brethren [0251] the children [01121] of Esau [06215], which dwelt [03427] in Seir [08165], through the way [01870] of the plain [06160] from Elath [0359], and from Eziongaber [06100], we turned [06437] and passed [05674] by the way [01870] of the wilderness [04057] of Moab [04124].
21 And he dwelt [03427] in the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290]: and his mother [0517] took [03947] him a wife [0802] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
20 These are the sons [01121] of Seir [08165] the Horite [02752], who inhabited [03427] the land [0776]; Lotan [03877], and Shobal [07732], and Zibeon [06649], and Anah [06034],
24 And upon Kerioth [07152], and upon Bozrah [01224], and upon all the cities [05892] of the land [0776] of Moab [04124], far [07350] or near [07138].
11 Which [01992] also were accounted [02803] giants [07497], as the Anakims [06062]; but the Moabites [04125] call [07121] them Emims [0368].
11 For only Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316] remained [07604] of the remnant [03499] of giants [07497]; behold, his bedstead [06210] was a bedstead [06210] of iron [01270]; is it not [03808] in Rabbath [07237] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]? nine [08672] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, and four [0702] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] of it, after the cubit [0520] of a man [0376].
20 (That also was accounted [02803] a land [0776] of giants [07497]: giants [07497] dwelt [03427] therein in old time [06440]; and the Ammonites [05984] call [07121] them Zamzummims [02157];
56 But the fields [07704] of the city [05892], and the villages [02691] thereof, they gave [05414] to Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312].
27 And unto the children [01121] of Gershon [01648], of the families [04940] of the Levites [03881], out of the other half [02677] tribe [04294] of Manasseh [04519] they gave Golan [01474] in Bashan [01316] with her suburbs [04054], to be a city [05892] of refuge [04733] for the slayer [07523]; and Beeshterah [01203] with her suburbs [04054]; two [08147] cities [05892].
4 And it came to pass after this [0310], that there arose [05975] war [04421] at Gezer [01507] with the Philistines [06430]; at which time [0227] Sibbechai [05444] the Hushathite [02843] slew [05221] Sippai [05598], that was of the children [03211] of the giant [07497]: and they were subdued [03665].
16 And Ishbibenob [03430], which was of the sons [03211] of the giant [07497], the weight [04948] of whose spear [07013] weighed three [07969] hundred [03967] shekels of brass [05178] in weight [04948], he being girded [02296] with a new [02319] sword, thought [0559] to have slain [05221] David [01732].
15 And Joshua [03091] answered [0559] them, If thou be a great [07227] people [05971], then get thee up [05927] to the wood [03293] country, and cut down [01254] for thyself there in the land [0776] of the Perizzites [06522] and of the giants [07497], if mount [02022] Ephraim [0669] be too narrow [0213] for thee.
18 The Philistines [06430] also came [0935] and spread [05203] themselves in the valley [06010] of Rephaim [07497].
16 And the border [01366] came down [03381] to the end [07097] of the mountain [02022] that lieth before [06440] the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], and which is in the valley [06010] of the giants [07497] on the north [06828], and descended [03381] to the valley [01516] of Hinnom [02011], to the side [03802] of Jebusi [02983] on the south [05045], and descended [03381] to Enrogel [05883],
8 And the border [01366] went up [05927] by the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011] unto the south [05045] side [03802] of the Jebusite [02983]; the same is Jerusalem [03389]: and the border [01366] went up [05927] to the top [07218] of the mountain [02022] that lieth before [06440] the valley [01516] of Hinnom [02011] westward [03220], which is at the end [07097] of the valley [06010] of the giants [07497] northward [06828]:
20 And the Hittites [02850], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Rephaims [07497],
12 All the kingdom [04468] of Og [05747] in Bashan [01316], which reigned [04427] in Ashtaroth [06252] and in Edrei [0154], who remained [07604] of the remnant [03499] of the giants [07497]: for these did Moses [04872] smite [05221], and cast them out [03423].
4 And the coast [01366] of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316], which was of the remnant [03499] of the giants [07497], that dwelt [03427] at Ashtaroth [06252] and at Edrei [0154],
13 And the rest [03499] of Gilead [01568], and all Bashan [01316], being the kingdom [04467] of Og [05747], gave [05414] I unto the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519]; all the region [02256] of Argob [0709], with all Bashan [01316], which [01931] was called [07121] the land [0776] of giants [07497].
11 For only Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316] remained [07604] of the remnant [03499] of giants [07497]; behold, his bedstead [06210] was a bedstead [06210] of iron [01270]; is it not [03808] in Rabbath [07237] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]? nine [08672] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, and four [0702] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] of it, after the cubit [0520] of a man [0376].
20 (That also was accounted [02803] a land [0776] of giants [07497]: giants [07497] dwelt [03427] therein in old time [06440]; and the Ammonites [05984] call [07121] them Zamzummims [02157];
4 Twelve [06240] [08147] years [08141] they served [05647] [0853] Chedorlaomer [03540], and in the thirteenth [07969] [06240] year [08141] they rebelled [04775].
5 And in the fourteenth [06240] [0702] year [08141] came [0935] Chedorlaomer [03540], and the kings [04428] that were with him, and smote [05221] the Rephaims [07497] in Ashteroth Karnaim [06255], and the Zuzims [02104] in Ham [01990], and the Emims [0368] in Shaveh Kiriathaim [07741],
6 And the Horites [02752] in their mount [02042] Seir [08165], unto Elparan [0364], which is by [05921] the wilderness [04057].
24 Then the LORD [03068] rained [04305] upon Sodom [05467] and upon Gomorrah [06017] brimstone [01614] and fire [0784] from the LORD [03068] out of heaven [08064];
25 And he overthrew [02015] those [0411] cities [05892], and all the plain [03603], and all the inhabitants [03427] of the cities [05892], and that which grew [06780] upon the ground [0127].
3 All these were joined together [02266] in the vale [06010] of Siddim [07708], which [01931] is the salt [04417] sea [03220].
22 Haste [04116] thee, escape [04422] thither; for I cannot [03201] do [06213] any thing [01697] till thou be come [0935] thither. Therefore the name [08034] of the city [05892] was called [07121] Zoar [06820].
1 And it came to pass in the days [03117] of Amraphel [0569] king [04428] of Shinar [08152], Arioch [0746] king [04428] of Ellasar [0495], Chedorlaomer [03540] king [04428] of Elam [05867], and Tidal [08413] king [04428] of nations [01471];
2 That these made [06213] war [04421] with [0854] Bera [01298] king [04428] of Sodom [05467], and with Birsha [01306] king [04428] of Gomorrah [06017], Shinab [08134] king [04428] of Admah [0126], and Shemeber [08038] king [04428] of Zeboiim [06636], and the king [04428] of Bela [01106], which is [01931] Zoar [06820].
1 Nevertheless the dimness [04155] shall not be such as was in her vexation [04164], when [06256] at the first [07223] he lightly afflicted [07043] the land [0776] of Zebulun [02074] and the land [0776] of Naphtali [05321], and afterward [0314] did more grievously afflict [03513] her by the way [01870] of the sea [03220], beyond [05676] Jordan [03383], in Galilee [01551] of the nations [01471].
2 And the LORD [03068] sold [04376] them into the hand [03027] of Jabin [02985] king [04428] of Canaan [03667], that reigned [04427] in Hazor [02674]; the captain [08269] of whose host [06635] was Sisera [05516], which dwelt [03427] in Harosheth [02800] of the Gentiles [01471].
23 The king [04428] of Dor [01756] in the coast [05299] of Dor [01756], one [0259]; the king [04428] of the nations [01471] of Gilgal [01537], one [0259];
22 The children [01121] of Shem [08035]; Elam [05867], and Asshur [0804], and Arphaxad [0775], and Lud [03865], and Aram [0758].
10 And the beginning [07225] of his kingdom [04467] was Babel [0894], and Erech [0751], and Accad [0390], and Calneh [03641], in the land [0776] of Shinar [08152].
1 And it came to pass in the days [03117] of Amraphel [0569] king [04428] of Shinar [08152], Arioch [0746] king [04428] of Ellasar [0495], Chedorlaomer [03540] king [04428] of Elam [05867], and Tidal [08413] king [04428] of nations [01471];
2 That these made [06213] war [04421] with [0854] Bera [01298] king [04428] of Sodom [05467], and with Birsha [01306] king [04428] of Gomorrah [06017], Shinab [08134] king [04428] of Admah [0126], and Shemeber [08038] king [04428] of Zeboiim [06636], and the king [04428] of Bela [01106], which is [01931] Zoar [06820].
3 All these were joined together [02266] in the vale [06010] of Siddim [07708], which [01931] is the salt [04417] sea [03220].
1 And it came to pass in the days [03117] of Amraphel [0569] king [04428] of Shinar [08152], Arioch [0746] king [04428] of Ellasar [0495], Chedorlaomer [03540] king [04428] of Elam [05867], and Tidal [08413] king [04428] of nations [01471];
2 That these made [06213] war [04421] with [0854] Bera [01298] king [04428] of Sodom [05467], and with Birsha [01306] king [04428] of Gomorrah [06017], Shinab [08134] king [04428] of Admah [0126], and Shemeber [08038] king [04428] of Zeboiim [06636], and the king [04428] of Bela [01106], which is [01931] Zoar [06820].
