21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the [a]persons, and take the goods for yourself.”

22 But Abram (A)said to the king of Sodom, “I (B)have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, (C)the Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (D)I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’— 24 except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.”

God’s Covenant with Abram(E)

15 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram (F)in a vision, saying, (G)“Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your (H)shield, [b]your exceedingly (I)great reward.”
