Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 14:7

En-mishpat - The well of judgment; probably so called from the judgment pronounced by God on Moses and Aaron for their rebellion at that place; Numbers 20:1-10 . Amalekites - So called afterwards, from Amalek, son of Esau; Genesis 36:12 . Hazezon-tamar - Called, in the Chaldee, Engaddi; a city in the land of Canaan, which fell to the lot of Judah; Joshua 15:62 . See also 2 Chronicles 20:2 .

The kingdom of God in its relation to the contending powers of this world. I. GOD 'S JUDGMENTS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO FALL . War is made by confederate kings or princes against the people of the wicked cities of the plain, who by their propinquity would naturally be leagued together, but by their common rebellion against Chedorlaomer were involved in a common danger. Notice the indication of the future judgment given in the course of the narrative—"the vale of Siddim was full... read more

That these made war. The LXX . connect the present with the preceding verse by reading "that Arioch," &c.; Ewald interpolates "of Abram," before "that Amraphel." With Bera . "Gift— בֶּש־רַע (Gesenius). King of Sodom . "Burning, conflagration," as being built on bituminous soil, and therefore subject to volcanic eruptions; from סָדַם , conjectured to mean to burn (Gesenius).

All these— the last-named princes— were joined together — i.e. as confederates (so. and came with their forces)—in (literally, to ) the vale of Siddim . The salt valley ( LXX .); a wooded vale (Vulgate); a plain filled with rocky hollows (Gesenius), with which Genesis 14:10 agrees; the valley of plains or fields (Onkelos, Raschi, Keil, Murphy).

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 14:4

Twelve years —dating from the commencement of his reign (Murphy)— they served —and paid tribute (cf. 2 Kings 18:7 )— Chedorlaomer. If the king of Elam was a Shemite prince, this was m accordance with the Noachic prophecy ( Genesis 9:26 ); but according to the monuments the Elamits dynasty was Turanian. And in the thirteenth year— during the whole of the thirteenth year— they rebelled , or had rebelled. read more

And in (or during) the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote (because of actual or probable rebellion) the Rephaims . Γίγαντας ( LXX .) , a tribe of gigantic stature (from an Arabic root, to be high), the iron bed of whose last king, Og, measured nine yards in length and four in breadth ( Deuteronomy 3:11 ); forming a portion of the aboriginal inhabitants of Palestine prior to the invasion of the Canaanites, though existing as a remnant... read more

And the Horites . Literally, dwelling in caves ; from char, a cave. In their mount Seir. Literally, wooded (Gesenius); hairy (Furst); rugged (Lange); probably with reference to the thick brushwood and forests that grew upon its sides. The cave men of Seir were the earlier inhabitants of the region lying between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Elam, afterwards taken possession of by the Edomites ( Deuteronomy 2:12 ; Jeremiah 49:16 ; Obadiah 1:3 , Obadiah 1:4 ).

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 14:7

And they returned —from the oak of Paran, the southernmost point reached by the invaders— and came to En-mishpat —the Well of Judgment, regarded as a prolepsis by those who derive the name from the judgment pronounced on Moses and Aaron ( À Lapide); but more probably the ancient designation of the town, which was so styled because the townsmen and villagers settled their disputes at the well in its neighborhood (Kalisch)— which is Kadesh , of which ( Numbers 20:14 ) the exact site... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 14:1-2

Genesis 14:1-2 . We have here an account of the first war that we read of in Scripture, in which we may observe: 1st, The parties engaged in it. The invaders were four kings; two of them no less than kings of Shinar and Elam; that is, Chaldea and Persia; yet, probably, not the sovereign princes of those great kingdoms, but rather the heads of some colonies which came out thence, and settled themselves near Sodom, but retained the names of the countries from which they had their original.... read more
