He is identified as the king of Elam and plays a central role in the narrative of <a href="/bsb/genesis/14.htm">Genesis 14</a>, which describes a coalition of kings and a subsequent battle in the Valley of Siddim.<br><br><b>Historical Context and Identity</b><br><br>Chedorlaomer is described as the leader of a confederation of four kings, which included Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, and Tidal king of Goiim. This coalition is noted for its campaign against the rebellious cities of the plain, including Sodom and Gomorrah. The name "Chedorlaomer" is believed to be of Elamite origin, suggesting a historical connection to the ancient kingdom of Elam, located in what is now southwestern Iran.<br><br><b>Biblical Account</b><br><br>The account of Chedorlaomer is found in <a href="/genesis/14.htm">Genesis 14:1-17</a>. The narrative begins with the mention of a rebellion by five kings of the cities of the plain, including Bera king of Sodom and Birsha king of Gomorrah, against Chedorlaomer. For twelve years, these cities had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year, they rebelled. In response, Chedorlaomer and his allies launched a military campaign to subdue the rebellion.<br><br><a href="/genesis/14-5.htm">Genesis 14:5-7</a> describes the military exploits of Chedorlaomer and his allies: "In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim, and the Horites in the hill country of Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert. Then they turned back to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar."<br><br>The coalition's campaign culminated in the Battle of the Valley of Siddim, where Chedorlaomer's forces defeated the rebellious kings. However, during the course of the battle, Lot, the nephew of Abram (later Abraham), was taken captive along with his possessions. This event prompted Abram to take action.<br><br><b>Abram's Intervention</b><br><br>Upon learning of Lot's capture, Abram mobilized 318 trained men from his household and pursued Chedorlaomer's forces. In a surprise night attack, Abram defeated the coalition and rescued Lot, along with the other captives and their possessions. <a href="/genesis/14-16.htm">Genesis 14:16</a> states, "He recovered all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people."<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>Chedorlaomer's narrative highlights several theological themes. It underscores the sovereignty of God in the affairs of nations and the protection of His chosen people. Abram's victory over Chedorlaomer, despite the latter's military prowess, demonstrates God's providential care and the fulfillment of His promises to Abram. Additionally, the account foreshadows the future role of Israel as a nation set apart by God, destined to be a blessing to all nations.<br><br><b>Chedorlaomer in Later Tradition</b><br><br>While Chedorlaomer is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, his account has been the subject of various interpretations and discussions in Jewish and Christian traditions. Some scholars have attempted to identify Chedorlaomer with historical figures from ancient Near Eastern records, though definitive identification remains elusive.<br><br>In summary, Chedorlaomer is a key figure in the Genesis narrative, representing the power and influence of ancient Near Eastern kings, while also serving as a backdrop for the demonstration of God's faithfulness to Abram and his descendants.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Chedorlaomer</span><p>roundness of a sheaf<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Chedorlaomer</span><p>King of Elam, in Persia, in the time of Abraham.

Many centuries before the age of Abraham, Canaan and even the Sinaitic peninsula had been conquered by Babylonian kings, and in the time of Abraham himself Babylonia was ruled by a dynasty which claimed sovereignity over Syria and Palestine. The kings of the dynasty bore names which were not Babylonian, but at once South Arabic and Hebrew. The most famous king of the dynasty was Khammu-rabi, who united Babylonia under one rule, and made Babylon its capital. When he ascended the throne, the country was under the suzerainty of the Elamites, and was divided into two kingdoms, that of Babylon (the Biblical Shinar) and that of Larsa (the Biblical Ellasar). The king of Larsa was Eri-Aku ("the servant of the moon-god"), the son of an Elamite prince, Kudur-Mabug, who is entitled "the father of the land of the Amorites." A recently discovered tablet enumerates among the enemies of Khammu-rabi, Kudur-Lagamar ("the servant of the goddess Lagamar") or Chedorlaomer, Eri-Aku or Arioch, and Tudkhula or Tidal. Khammu-rabi, whose name is also read Ammi-rapaltu or Amraphel by some scholars, succeeded in overcoming Eri-Aku and driving the Elamites out of Babylonia. Assur-bani-pal, the last of the Assyrian conquerors, mentions in two inscriptions that he took Susa 1635 years after Kedor-nakhunta, king of Elam, had conquered Babylonia. It was in the year B.C. 660 that Assur-bani-pal took Susa. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">CHEDORLAOMER</span><p>ked-or-la-o'-mer, ked-or-la'-omer (kedhorla`omer; Chodollogomor):<br><br>1. was He the Elamite King Kudur-lahgumal?<br><br>2.

The Importance of the Series<br><br>The name of the Elamite overlord with whom Amraphel, Arioch and Tidal marched against Sodom and Gomorrah, and the other cities of the plain (<a href="/genesis/14-1.htm">Genesis 14:1</a>). The Greek (Septuagint) form of the name is Chodollogomor, implying a different vocalization, the assimilation of "R "with "L", and the pronunciation of " `o" as "gho" (Codorlaghomer). This suggests that the Elamite form, in cuneiform, would be Kudur-lagamar, the second element being the name of a god, and the whole therefore meaning "servant of La`omer" (Lagamar), or the like. A Babylonian deity worshippeal at Dilmu, Lagamal, may be the same as the Elamite Lagamar. This name is not found in the cuneiform inscriptions, unless it be, as is possible, the fancifully-written Kudur-lah(gu)mal (or Kodorlahgomal) of three late Babylonian legends, one of which is in poetical form. Besides this Elamite ruler, two of these tablets mention also a certain Eri-Aku or Eri-Akua, son of Durmah-ilani, and one of them refers to Tudhul(a) or Tidal.<br><br>See <a href="../e/eri-aku.htm">ERI-AKU, 4</a>.<br><br>1. Was He the Elamite King Kudur-lahgumal?:<br><br>Objections have been made to the identification of Chedorlaomer with the Kudur-lah(gu)mal of these texts, some Assyriologists having flatly denied the possibility, while others expressed the opinion that, though these names were respectively those with which they have been identified, they were not the personages referred to in <a href="/nasb/genesis/14.htm">Genesis 14</a>, and many have refrained from expressing an opinion at all. The main reason for the identification of Kudur-lah(gu)mal(?) with Chedorlaomer is its association with the names Eri-Eaku and Tudgul(a) found on two of the documents. No clear references to the expedition against the Cities of the Plain, however, have been found in these texts.<br><br>2. Kudur-lahgumal and the Babylonians:<br><br>The longer of the two prose compositions (Brit. Mus., Sp. II, 987) refers to the bond of heaven (extended?) to the four regions, and the fame which he (Merodach?) set for (the Elamites) in Babylon, the city of (his) glory. So (?the gods), in their faithful (or everlasting) counsel, decreed to Kudur-lahgumal, king of Elam (their favor?). He came down, and (performed) what was good to them, and exercised dominion in Babylon, the city of Kar-Dunias (Babylonia). When in power, however, he acted in a way which did not please the Babylonians, for he loved the winged fowl, and favored the dog which crunched the bone. "What(?) king of Elam was there who had (ever) (shown favor to?) the shrine of E-saggil?" (E-sagila, the great temple of Belus at Babylon).<br><br>3. The Son of Eri-Ekua:<br><br>A letter from Durmah-ilani son of Eri-Ekua (?Arioch) is at this point quoted, and possibly forms the justification for the sentences which had preceded, giving, as they do, reasons for the intervention of the native ruler. The mutilation of the inscription, however, makes the sense and sequence very difficult to follow.<br><br>4. Durmah-ilani, Tudhul(a) and Kudur-lahmal:<br><br>The less perfect fragment (Sp. III, 2) contains, near the beginning, the word hammu, and if this be, as Professor F. Hommel has suggested, part of the name Hammurabi (Amraphel), it would in all probability place the identification of Kudur-lahgumal(?) with Chedorlaomer beyond a doubt. This inscription states, that Merodach, in the faithfulness of his heart, caused the ruler not supporting (the temples of Babylonia) to be slain with the sword. The name of Durmah-ilani then occurs, and it seems to be stated of him that he carried off spoil, and Babylon and the temple E-saggil were inundated. He, however, was apparently murdered by his son, and old and young (were slain) with the sword. Then came Tudhul(a) or Tidal, son of Gazza(ni?), who also carried off spoil, and again the waters devastated Babylon and E-saggil. But to all appearance Tudhul(a), in his turn, was overtaken by his fate, for "his son shattered his head with the weapon of his hands." At this point there is a reference to Elam, to the city Ahhea(?), and to the land of Rabbatum, which he (? the king of Elam) had spoiled. Whether this refers to some expedition to Palestine or not is uncertain, and probably unlikely, as the next phrase speaks of devastation inflicted in Babylonia.<br><br>5. The Fate of Sinful Rulers:<br><br>But an untoward fate overtook this ruler likewise, for Kudur-lahmal (= lahgumal), his son, pierced his heart with the steel sword of his girdle. All these references to violent deaths are apparently cited to show the dreadful end of certain kings, "lords of sin," with whom Merodach, the king of the gods, was angry.<br><br>6. The Poetical Legend:<br><br>The third text is of a poetical nature, and refers several times to "the enemy, the Elamite"-apparently Kudur-lahgu(mal). In this noteworthy inscription, which, even in its present imperfect state, contains 78 lines of wedge-written text, the destruction wrought by him is related in detail. He cast down the door (of the temple) of Istar; entered Du-mah, the place where the fates were declared (see BABEL, BABYLON), and told his warriors to take the spoil and the goods of the temple.<br><br>7. Kudur-lahgumal's Misdeeds:<br><br>He was afraid, however, to proceed to extremities, as the god of the place "flashed like lightning, and shook the (holy) places." The last two paragraphs state that he set his face to go down to Tiamtu (the seacoast; see CHALDEA), whither Ibi-Tutu, apparently the king of that district, had hastened, and founded a pseudo-capital. But the Elamite seems afterward to have taken his way north again, and after visiting Borsippa near Babylon, traversed "the road of darkness-the road to Mesku" (?Mesech). He destroyed the palace, subdued the princes, carried off the spoil of all the temples and took the goods (of the people) to Elam. At this point the text breaks off.<br><br>8. The Importance of the Series:<br><br>Where these remarkable inscriptions came from there ought to be more of the same nature, and if these be found, the mystery of Chedorlaomer and Kudur-lahgumal will probably be solved. At present it can only be said, that the names all point to the early period of the Elamite rulers called Kudurides, before the land of Tiamtu or Tamdu was settled by the Chaldeans. Evidently it was one of the heroic periods of Babylonian history, and some scribe of about 350 B.C. had collected together a number of texts referring to it. All three tablets were purchased (not excavated) by the British Museum, and reached that institution through the same channel. See the Journal of the Victoria Institute, 1895-96, and Professor Sayce in Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archaeology (1906), 193, 241; (1907), 7.<br><br>T. G.
