In context
11The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went on their way. 12They also seized Lot, Abram’s nephew, and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom, and they went on their way. 13A man who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living near the great trees of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and Aner. These men were allies of Abram. 14When Abram heard that his nephew had been taken captive, he called out his three hundred and eighteen trained men, born in his own household, and pursued the enemy as far as Dan. 15During the night he divided his forces against them, he and his men, and defeated them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
