Genesis 14:18-24 ▼

18 And Melchizedek the king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High.

19 And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;

20 And blessed be God Most High, Who has handed over your enemies to you.” And he gave him a tenth of everything.

21 Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the people to me and take the possessions for yourself.”

22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have sworn to the LORD God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth,

23 that I will not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, so that you do not say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’

24 I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share.”
