Genesis 14:18-24

New King James Version

Abram and Melchizedek^(A)

¹⁸Then ^(B)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out ^(C)bread and wine; he was ^(D)the priest of ^(E)God Most High. ¹⁹And he blessed him and said:

^(F)“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
^(G)Possessor of heaven and earth;
²⁰And ^(H)blessed be God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

And he ^(I)gave him ^[a]a tithe of all.

²¹Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the ^[b]persons, and take the goods for yourself.”

²²But Abram ^(J)said to the king of Sodom, “I ^(K)have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, ^(L)the Possessor of heaven and earth, ²³that ^(M)I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’— ²⁴except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.”
