Genesis 14:17-24
English Standard Version
Abram Blessed by Melchizedek
17 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 (A)King's Valley). 18 And (B)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was (C)priest of (D)God Most High.) 19 And he blessed him and said,
(E)“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
(F)Possessor[a] of heaven and earth;
20 and blessed be God Most High,
who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”
And Abram gave him (G)a tenth of everything. 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, (H)“I have lifted my hand[b] to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (I)I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 24 I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let (J)Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.”

God’s Promise to Abram
17 Then after his return from the [a]defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, (A)the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, (B)the King’s Valley). 18 And (C)Melchizedek the king of Salem brought out (D)bread and wine; now he was a (E)priest of [b]God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said,
“Blessed be Abram of [c]God Most High,
[d](F)Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be [e]God Most High,
Who has handed over your enemies to you.”
And (G)he gave him a tenth of everything. 21 Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the [f]people to me and take the possessions for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have [g]sworn to the Lord [h](H)God Most High, [i](I)Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (J)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.’ 24 [j]I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, (K)Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share.”
