Hebrews 7:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of everything[a]—in the first place, his name is translated “king of righteousness,” and then also “king of Salem,” that is, “king of peace”; 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God—he remains a priest for all time.
4 But see how great this man was, to whom Abraham[b] the patriarch gave a tenth from the spoils!

4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch(C) Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!(D)
