Bera

Bera is the king of Sodom at the time of the war of the four kings against the five.

King of Sodom

He is named once, at the head of the cities of the plain that took the field against the eastern coalition: "that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar)" (Ge 14:2). His role in the narrative is set by this opening notice — the king whose city is sacked and whose people Abram will rescue. See Sodom for the larger account.
