14
And Abram, hearing that his brother's son had been made a prisoner, took a band of his trained men, three hundred and eighteen of them, sons of his house, and went after them as far as Dan.
15
And separating his forces by night, he overcame them, putting them to flight and going after them as far as Hobah, which is on the north side of Damascus.
16
And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.
17
And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom in the valley of Shaveh, that is, the King's Valley.
18
And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,
19
And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:
20
And let the Most High God be praised, who has given into your hands those who were against you. Then Abram gave him a tenth of all the goods he had taken.
21
And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.
22
But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth,
23
That I will not take so much as a thread or the cord of a shoe of yours; so that you may not say, I have given wealth to Abram:
24
Give me nothing but the food which the fighting-men who went with me have had; but let Aner and Eshcol and Mamre have their part of the goods.
