Génesis 14:18-24

18 Entonces Melquisedec, rey de Salem, sacó pan y vino; él era sacerdote del Dios Altísimo.

19 Y lo bendijo, diciendo: Bendito sea Abram del Dios Altísimo, creador del cielo y de la tierra;

20 y bendito sea el Dios Altísimo que entregó a tus enemigos en tu mano. Y le dio Abram el diezmo de todo.

21 Y el rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: Dame las personas y toma para ti los bienes.

22 Y Abram dijo al rey de Sodoma: He jurado al SEÑOR, Dios Altísimo, creador del cielo y de la tierra,

23 que no tomaré ni un hilo ni una correa de zapato, ni ninguna cosa tuya, para que no digas: "Yo enriquecí a Abram."

24 Nada tomaré, excepto lo que los jóvenes han comido y la parte de los hombres que fueron conmigo: Aner, Escol y Mamre. Ellos tomarán su parte.

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 14

This chapter gives an account of a war that was waged, and a battle fought between four kings on one side, and five on the other, and of the occasion and issue of it, who were the first kings, and this the first battle the Scriptures speak of, Ge 14:1-11; Lot and his goods being taken and carried off, with those of Sodom, by the conquerors, Abram hearing of it armed his men, and pursued after them, and overtook and overcame them, and rescued Lot and his goods, with others, and returned, Ge 14:12-16; when he was met by the kings of Sodom and Salem, who congratulated him on his victory, Ge 14:17-19; and what passed between him, and those great personages, is related, Ge 14:20-24.
