19 He blessed Abram, and said, |Blessed is Abram by God Most High, maker of heaven and earth. 20 Blessed is God Most High, who has handed your enemies over to you.| Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. 21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, |Give me the people, and keep everything else for yourself.| 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, |I now raise my hand and solemnly swear to the LORD God Most High, maker of heaven and earth, 23 that I won't take a thread or a sandal strap. I won't take anything that is yours so that you will never be able to say, 'I made Abram rich.' 24 I won't take one single thing except what my men have eaten. But let my allies Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.| Genesis 14:19-24, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
