Gomorrah
Gomorrah is a city of the plain whose king was slain by Chedorlaomer and allied kings, while the king of Sodom fled. The Lord executed judgments on Sodom and Gomorrah and the region of the Jordan, burning them with fire and brimstone and destroying them. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah revolted from Chedorlaomer. One account names Gomorrah among four men from the family of Ham who went to the land of the plain.
