The [four kings] went to war against [five other kings]: Bera ["son of wickedness"], king of [the city] Sodom, and with Birsha ["with wickedness"], king of [the city] Gomorrah, Shinav ["the glory of the father"], king of [the city] Admah, and Shemevel ["magnificent wing/flight"], king of [the city] Tsevoim, and the king of [the city] Bela—that is [present-day]Tsoar. [The exact location of these cities is unknown, but it is likely that all five allied kings and their cities were located close to each other in the area around the present-day Dead Sea.]
