Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an Elamite name, possibly meaning "servant of Lagamar," with Lagamar being a deity worshiped in Elam.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Kedorlaomer, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Kedorlaomer is used as a proper name for a king in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of a coalition of kings who waged war against the cities of the plain, including Sodom and Gomorrah. Context: Kedorlaomer is a significant figure in the narrative found in Genesis 14. He is identified as the king of Elam and the leader of a coalition of four kings, including Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, and Tidal king of Goiim. This coalition waged war against five kings of the cities of the plain, including the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah. The conflict arose because the latter group had rebelled against Kedorlaomer after serving him for twelve years. The coalition led by Kedorlaomer initially triumphed, capturing Lot, Abram's nephew, and taking spoils from Sodom. However, Abram (later Abraham) pursued and defeated Kedorlaomer and his allies, rescuing Lot and recovering the goods. This account highlights the geopolitical dynamics of the ancient Near East and underscores Abram's role as a divinely favored patriarch. The narrative also serves to foreshadow the future significance of the land and its inhabitants in biblical history.
