Genesis 14:13-20

13And there cameH935 one that had escaped, and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680: nowH935 he dweltH7931 by the oaksH436 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and brotherH251 of AnerH6063; and theseH1992 were confederate with AbramH87.

14And when AbramH87 heardH8085 that his brotherH251 was takenH7617 captiveH7617, he ledH7617 forthH8085 his trainedH2593 menH2593, bornH3211 in his houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteenH6240, and pursuedH7291 as farH5704 as DanH1835.

15And he dividedH2505 himselfH1931 againstH5921 them by nightH3915, he and his servantsH5650, and smoteH5221 them, and pursuedH7291 them unto HobahH2327, whichH834 is on the leftH8040 handH8040 of DamascusH1834.

16And he broughtH7725 backH7725 allH3605 the goodsH7399, and also broughtH7725 againH7725 his brotherH251 LotH3876, and his goodsH7399, and the womenH802 also, and the peopleH5971.

17And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7125 him, afterH310 his returnH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of ChedorlaomerH3540 and the kingsH4428 that were with him, at the vale of ShavehH7740 (the sameH1931 is the King’sH4428 Vale).

18And MelchizedekH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 broughtH3318 forthH3318 breadH3899 and wineH3196: and he was priestH3548 of GodH410 MostH4428 High.

19And he blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be AbramH87 of GodH410 Most High, possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776:

20and blessedH1288 be GodH410 Most High, whichH834 hath deliveredH5414 thine enemies intoH3027 thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 him a tenthH4643 of allH3605.
