Genesis 14:14-20

14And when AbramH87 heardH8085 thatH3588 his relativeH251 had been capturedH7617, he mobilizedH7324 the 318H8083H6240H7969H3967 trained menH2593 bornH3211 in his householdH1004, and they set out in pursuitH7291 asH5704 far as DanH1835.

15During the nightH3915, Abram dividedH2505H5921 his forcesH5650 and routedH5221 Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing themH7291 as far asH5704 HobahH2327, northH8040 of DamascusH1834. 16He retrievedH7725 allH3605 the goodsH7399, as well asH1571 his relativeH251 LotH3876 and his possessionsH7399H7725, together withH1571 the womenH802 and the rest of the peopleH5971.

17AfterH310 Abram returnedH7725 from defeatingH5221 ChedorlaomerH3540 and the kingsH4428 allied with himH834H854, the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 went outH3318 to meet himH7122 inH413 the ValleyH6010 of ShavehH7740 (that isH1931, the King’sH4428 ValleyH6010).

18Then MelchizedekH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 brought outH3318 breadH3899 and wineH3196—since heH1931 was priestH3548 of GodH410 Most HighH59451— 19and he blessedH1288 Abram and saidH559:

“Blessed beH1288 AbramH87 by GodH410 Most HighH5945,CreatorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776,20and blessed beH1288 GodH410 Most HighH5945,whoH834 has deliveredH4042 your enemiesH6862 into your handH3027.”

Then Abram gaveH5414 Melchizedek a tenthH4643 of everythingH3605.
