and as

, some
men
fell
into
the
pits
, but
the
survivors
fled to the hill
country
.

was
living
near
the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a
brother of Eshcol and Aner, all
of
whom
were
bound
by
treaty
to
Abram
.

who
is
escaping
cometh
and
declareth
to Abram the Hebrew ,
and
he
is
dwelling
among
the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol ,
and brother
of
Aner, and
they
`are'

allies

that his brother
hath
been taken
captive
, and
he draweth
out
his trained
domestics
, three

pursueth
unto
Dan.

his forces
and routed

them as
far
as

of Damascus .
And
he
divideth
himself
against
them
by
night, he
and
his servants,
and smiteth
them
, and
pursueth
them unto
Hobah, which
`is'
at
the
left
of Damascus ;
He retrieved
all
the goods
, as
well
as
his
relative
Lot and his possessions
, together
with
the women and the rest
of
the
people.

back
the whole
of
the
substance
, and

brother

hath
he
brought
back

After
Abram
returned
from
defeating
Chedorlaomer
and the kings
allied
with
him,
the
king of Sodom went
out to meet him in
the Valley of Shaveh (that
is
, the King’s
Valley )
.
And the king of Sodom goeth
out to meet him (after
his
turning
back
from
the smiting
of
Chedorlaomer,
and
of
the
kings
who
`are'
with
him),
unto

he was
priest of God Most High —

Melchizedek king of Salem hath
brought out bread and wine ,
and
he `is'
priest of God Most High ;
and he blessed
Abram
and said:
“
Blessed be
Abram by
God Most High, Creator
of
heaven and earth ,
and he blesseth
him,
and saith,
`
Blessed `is'
Abram to
God Most High, possessing
heaven and earth ;
and blessed be
God Most High, who has
delivered your
enemies
into your
hand .”
Then
Abram
gave
Melchizedek
a tenth of everything
.
and blessed `is'
God Most High, who hath
delivered thine
adversaries
into thy
hand ;'
and
he
giveth
to
him
a tenth of all
.
The king of Sodom said
to
Abram, “
Give me the people
, but
take
the goods
for
yourself.”
And
the king of Sodom saith
unto
Abram, `
Give to
me the persons
, and
the substance
take
to
thyself,'
But
Abram replied
to
the king of Sodom, “
I have raised
my hand to
the
LORD
God Most High, Creator
of
heaven and earth ,
and
Abram saith
unto
the king of Sodom, `
I have lifted
up
my hand unto
Jehovah,
God Most High, possessing
heaven and earth --
that
I
will
not
accept
even
a thread ,
or
a strap
of a
sandal,
or
anything that
belongs
to
you
, lest
you
should
say, ‘
I have made Abram rich .’
from
a thread even
unto
a shoe-latchet
I
take
not
of anything which
thou
hast
, that
thou
say not
, I --
I
have made Abram rich ;
I
will
accept
nothing
but
what
my
men have eaten and the share
for
the men who went
with me —
Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre .
They may
take their portion. ”
save
only
that
which
the
young
men have eaten ,
and the portion
of
the men who have
gone
with me --
Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre --
they take their portion. '
