Genesis 14:18-24

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.”
