Genesis 14:14-20
14When Abram heard that 1his 2relative had been taken captive, he 3led out his trained men, 4born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as 5Dan. 156He divided 7his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and 8defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is 9north of 10Damascus. 16He 11brought back all the goods, and also brought back 12his 13relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people.
17Then after his return from the 14defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, 15the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, 16the King’s Valley). 18And 17Melchizedek king of Salem brought out 18bread and wine; now he was a 19priest of 20God Most High. 19He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram of 21God Most High, 2223Possessor of heaven and earth;20And blessed be 24God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” 25He gave him a tenth of all.
