After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him
Abram's victory over Chedorlaomer and his allies is significant as it demonstrates God's favor and protection over Abram. Chedorlaomer was a powerful king who led a coalition of four kings against five rebellious kings in the region, including the king of Sodom. Abram's successful military campaign, with only 318 trained men, highlights his strategic prowess and God's intervention. This event foreshadows the future victories of Israel over seemingly insurmountable foes, emphasizing reliance on divine assistance. It also prefigures Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death, as Abram acts as a deliverer for Lot, akin to Christ's role as the Redeemer.

the king of Sodom went out to meet him
The king of Sodom's approach to Abram after the battle is notable. Sodom, known for its wickedness, represents worldly values and corruption. The king's meeting with Abram contrasts with Melchizedek's later encounter, highlighting the choice between worldly wealth and spiritual blessing. This meeting sets the stage for Abram's refusal of the king's offer, demonstrating his commitment to God's promise rather than earthly riches. This encounter can be seen as a test of Abram's faith and integrity, similar to the temptations faced by believers to compromise with worldly powers.

in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley)
The Valley of Shaveh, also known as the King’s Valley, is traditionally identified with the Kidron Valley near Jerusalem. This location is significant as it later becomes associated with royal and religious events in Israel's history. The mention of the King’s Valley may symbolize a place of decision and covenant, as it is where Abram meets both the king of Sodom and Melchizedek, the king of Salem. This geographical setting foreshadows Jerusalem's future importance as the center of worship and the reign of the Davidic kings, ultimately pointing to the messianic reign of Christ, the King of Kings.

Generosity and Integrity
Abram's later refusal to take spoils from the king of Sodom (in subsequent verses) teaches the importance of integrity and reliance on God for provision.

What Does Genesis 14:17 Mean
After Abram returned

“After Abram returned…” (Genesis 14:17a)

• Abram is coming back from a rescue mission that began with faith-filled action (Genesis 14:14-16).

• His safe return underscores God’s protection, echoing promises likeGenesis 12:3 andPsalm 121:8.

• Every step back toward his camp is a testimony that obedience and courage, grounded in trust, are never wasted (Hebrews 11:8-9).

from defeating Chedorlaomer

“…from defeating Chedorlaomer…” (Genesis 14:17a)

• Chedorlaomer was the regional super-power, yet Abram’s 318 men prevailed (Genesis 14:15).

• The victory highlights God’s might working through small numbers—seeJudges 7:2-7 and1 Samuel 14:6.

• Abram fought to free Lot, modeling love that risks everything for family (John 15:13).

and the kings allied with him

“…and the kings allied with him…” (Genesis 14:17a)

• Four kings fell before Abram’s band (Genesis 14:9-10); no coalition can stand when the Lord defends His people (Deuteronomy 32:30;Romans 8:31).

• The phrase reminds us that evil often unites, but God’s covenant child stands secure (Psalm 2:1-4).

the king of Sodom went out to meet him

“…the king of Sodom went out to meet him…” (Genesis 14:17b)

• Sodom’s king had fled earlier (Genesis 14:10); now he approaches the victor, hoping for favor.

• Abram will soon refuse the spoils (Genesis 14:21-23), guarding God’s glory and his own witness (Proverbs 22:1).

• This moment foreshadows later temptations where the righteous must choose between earthly gain and divine honor (Matthew 4:8-10).

in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley)

“…in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).” (Genesis 14:17c)

• Likely just outside ancient Salem—later Jerusalem—where kings met for judgment or celebration (2 Samuel 18:18;Psalm 76:2).

• The setting prepares for Melchizedek’s appearance (Genesis 14:18-20;Hebrews 7:1-3), linking Abram’s story to the coming Priest-King.

• A public valley: God’s victories are meant to be seen and remembered (Psalm 98:1-3).

summary

Genesis 14:17 captures a triumphant homecoming that magnifies God’s faithfulness: Abram, upheld by the Lord, defeats a formidable coalition, resists worldly entanglements, and stands in a royal valley where heaven’s purposes will soon unfold through Melchizedek. The verse reminds believers that God protects His servants, grants victory against overwhelming odds, and positions them for greater revelation—all for His glory.

(17)The slaughter.--Heb.,the smiting,that is, the defeat of Chedorlaomer.

The valley ofShaven.--That is, the valley of the plain (see onGenesis 14:5). It was the place where Absalom erected his pillar (2Samuel 18:18), and lay on the northern side of Jerusalem, probably where the Kedron valley widens out. Its other name, "the king's dale," may have been given it from this meeting of the kings of Salem and Sodom with the victorious Abram; but Onkelos, with far greater probability, considers that it was so called because upon this level ground the kings of Judah in subsequent times assembled and exercised their forces.

Verse 17. -And the king of Sodom - Bera, or his successor (vide Ver. 10) -went out to meet him (i.e. Abram)after his return from the slaughter (perhaps too forcible an expression for mere defeat)of Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him (the entire clause from "after" is parenthetical),at the valley of Shaveh. A valley about two stadia north of Jerusalem (Josephus, 'Ant.,' 8:10), supposed to be the valley of the Upper Kedron, where Absalom s pillar was after. wards erected (2 Samuel 18:10); which may be correct if the Salem afterwards mentioned was Jerusalem (vide infra); but if it was not, then the exact site of Shaveh must be left undetermined.Which is the king's dale. Or valley (emek); so styled because suitable for kingly sports or military exercises (Onkelos); because of its beauty (Poole); because Melchisedeck had his camp and palace there (Malvenda); or most likely because of the interview between him and Abram which there occurred (Keil, Lange), with which agrees the renderingτὸ πεδίον τῶν βασιλέων, (LXX.).
