Ham
The eastern kings under Chedorlaomer beat the Zuzim here, on the campaign that ended with Lot captured at Sodom. If the Zuzim are the Zamzummim, Ham lay east of the Jordan in what became Ammon. It has nothing to do with Noah's son.

Ham appears in Genesis 14:5 as the place where the coalition of eastern kings led by Chedorlaomer defeated the Zuzim, during the campaign that culminated in the capture of Lot at Sodom. The Zuzim are usually identified with the Zamzummim of Deuteronomy 2:20, an earlier people later dispossessed by the Ammonites, which would place Ham somewhere in the region later known as Ammon, east of the Jordan. It is unrelated to Noah's son Ham, despite the identical English spelling.
