What did Abraham do to the kings who overran Lot's hometown of Sodom?

Abraham pursued the kings who had overrun Lot's hometown of Sodom, conquered them, and brought Lot and his family back to Sodom. After the slaughter, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the valley of Shavuah.

Les teaches that in Genesis 14 Abraham had just pursued the kings that had overrun Lot's hometown of Sodom. Abraham conquers them and brings Lot and his family back to Sodom. On his way back, in the area of present-day Jerusalem, a strange thing happens. Les explains that the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedder-Laramar and the kings with him at the valley of Shavuah, which is of Sodom. Les notes that this is the same little village and area, pointing out that it is the last five letters of Jerusalem.
