HISTORICAL BACKGROUND<br />
In around 2000 B. C. The five kings from the Jordan River Plain rebelled against Elam rule, during<br />
Chedorlaomer's thirteenth year <strong>of</strong> reign over them. Their rebellion caused a domino effect that pushed<br />

plain were:<br />
1. Bera king <strong>of</strong> Sodom<br />
2. Birsha king <strong>of</strong> Gomorrah<br />
3. Shinab king <strong>of</strong> Admah<br />
4. Shemeber king <strong>of</strong> Zeboyim<br />
