Genesis 14:14-20
New American Standard Bible
14 When Abram heard that (A)his relative had been taken captive, he [a]led out his trained men, (B)born in his house, numbering 318, and went in pursuit as far as (C)Dan. 15 Then (D)he divided [b]his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and [c]defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is [d]north of (E)Damascus. 16 He (F)brought back all the possessions, and also brought back (G)his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the other people.
God’s Promise to Abram
17 Then after his return from the [e]defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, (H)the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, (I)the King’s Valley). 18 And (J)Melchizedek the king of Salem brought out (K)bread and wine; now he was a (L)priest of [f]God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said,
“Blessed be Abram of [g]God Most High,
[h](M)Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be [i]God Most High,
Who has handed over your enemies to you.”
And (N)he gave him a tenth of everything.
