18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of the Most High God. 19 And he blessed him, saying, Blessed be Abram to God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth; 20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered your enemies into your hands. And Abram gave him tithes of everything. 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself. 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hands to the God Most High, the possessor of heaven and earth, 23 That I will not take of anything that belongs to you, from a thread to a shoestring, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich; 24 Save that which the young men have eaten and the portions of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portions.
