New International Version NIV
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth.

and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.
20
And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.
21
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.”
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth,
22
But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “With raised hand I have sworn an oath to the LORD, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
23 if from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take [anything] ...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich;
23
that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
24
I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
