With Chedorlaomer king of Elam,.... Who is here mentioned first, being the principal in the war, and against whom the kings of Sodom, c. had rebelled:
and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar who were his allies, confederates, and auxiliaries:
four kings with five; those four last mentioned, with the other five before spoken of, that is, they fought with them; or rather four kings against five, as the Vulgate Latin and Tigurine versions, and some others.
