  JewishEncyclopedia.com - CHEDORLAOMER.
The name "Chedorlaomer" has long been the subject of controversy, that has increased, rather than diminished, since the discovery of native Elamite and Babylonian documents.
In spite of the difficulty of the reading and the late date of the text, it is possible that the person intended is really the same as the Chedorlaomer of Genesis, though most scholars are opposed to this view.
It is, however, a matter of some consequence in estimating the character of the narrative in Gen. xiv.
