Genesis 14:13-24

13Then a survivor came and told Abram the Hebrew, who was dwelling by the large trees belonging to Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eschol and the brother of Aner—they were Abram’s allies.

14When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he rallied his trained men, those born in his household, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

15Then he divided his servants against them at night, and he defeated them and pursued them as far as Hovah, which is north of Damascus.

16He brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his kinsman Lot and his possessions, as well as the women and the other people.

17Now after he returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (this is the King’s Valley).

18Then Melechizedek , king of Salem, brought out bread and wine—he was a priest of El Elyon.

19He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by El Elyon, Creator of heaven and earth,

20and blessed be El Elyon, Who gave over your enemies Into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

21Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people—the possessions take for yourself.”

22But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand in oath to Adonai, El Elyon, Creator of heaven and earth.

23Not a thread or even a sandal strap of all that is yours will I take, so you will not say, ‘I’ve made Abram rich!’

24I claim nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me—Aner, Eschol, and Mamre—let them take their share.”
