14. When Abram heard that his nephew Lot had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men who had been born into his household. Then he pursued Kedorlaomer’s army until he caught up with them at Dan.
15. There he divided his men and attacked during the night. Kedorlaomer’s army fled, but Abram chased them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
16. Abram recovered all the goods that had been taken, and he brought back his nephew Lot with his possessions and all the women and other captives.
17. After Abram returned from his victory over Kedorlaomer and all his allies, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18. And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brought Abram some bread and wine.
19. Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing:“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,Creator of heaven and earth.
20. And blessed be God Most High,who has defeated your enemies for you.”Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the goods he had recovered.
