Genesis 14:18-24

18And 1Melchizedek king of Salem brought out 2bread and wine; now he was a 3priest of 4God Most High. 19He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram of 5God Most High, 67Possessor of heaven and earth;20And blessed be 8God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” 9He gave him a tenth of all. 21The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the 10people to me and take the goods for yourself.” 22Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have 11sworn to the Lord 1213God Most High, 1415possessor of heaven and earth, 23that 16I will not take a thread or a sandal thong or anything that is yours, for fear you would say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 2417I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, 18Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share.”
