Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(handful of sheaves). King of Elam (Gen. 14:1-24).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
King of Elam in the time of Abram (Gen. 14:1-17). In punishing some of his tributaries he carried away Lot, but was pursued by Abram and was apparently killed. The name of KHUDUR-LAGAMAR king of Elam has been met with in the inscriptions, which is supposed to be the same as Chedorlaomer. He had subdued the five kings near the Dead Sea, some 700 miles across the desert, or 1000 by the Euphrates and traversing the land of Canaan. He returned by this latter route, for he was near Damascus when Abram overtook him.
