Chapter 14

16He brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the other people.
17Then after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). 18And Melchizedek the king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High.
19And he blessed him and said, 'Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;
20And blessed be God Most High, Who has handed over your enemies to you.' And he gave him a tenth of everything. 21Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, 'Give the people to me and take the possessions for yourself.' 22But Abram said to the king of Sodom, 'I have sworn to the Lord God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, 23that I will not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, so that you do not say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
