Genesis 14:18-24

Genesis 14:18-24 NCV

Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was a priest for God Most High and blessed Abram, saying, “Abram, may you be blessed by God Most High, the God who made heaven and earth. And we praise God Most High, who has helped you to defeat your enemies.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything he had brought back from the battle. The king of Sodom said to Abram, “You may keep all these things for yourself. Just give me my people who were captured.” But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I make a promise to the LORD, the God Most High, who made heaven and earth. I promise that I will not keep anything that is yours. I will not keep even a thread or a sandal strap so that you cannot say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ I will keep nothing but the food my young men have eaten. But give Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre their share of what we won, because they went with me into battle.”
