1720. Verse 17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley.

'The king of Sodom went out to meet him' means that the evil and falsity submitted to Him. 'After he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him' means the release and reclamation of the apparent goods and truths. 'At the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley' means the state of the External Man as regards goods and truths at that time.
