One who had escaped came and told Avram [Exalted father], the Hebrew [Immigrant]. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre [Bitter, Fatness], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and they were allies of Avram [Exalted father].

When Avram [Exalted father] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that his relative was taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan [He judged].

The king of Sodom [Burning] went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 Y Melquisedec, rey de Salem, el sacerdote del Dios Altísimo, tomó pan y vino,
Malki-Tzedek king of Shalem [My king Righteousness king of City peace] brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of El 'Elyon [God Most High],
19 Y bendiciéndolo, dijo: Bendición del Dios Altísimo, hacedor del cielo y de la tierra, sea sobre Abram:
so he blessed him saying, “Blessed be Avram [Exalted father] of El 'Elyon [God Most High], possessor of heaven and earth:
20 Y sea alabado el Dios Altísimo, que ha entregado en tus manos a los que estaban contra ti. Entonces Abram le dio una décima parte de todos los bienes que había tomado.

Avram [Exalted father] said to the king of Sodom [Burning], “I have lifted up my hand to Adonai, El 'Elyon [Yahweh, God Most High], possessor of heaven and earth,
23 que no tomaré ni un hilo ni el cordón de un zapato tuyo; para que no digas: le he dado riquezas a Abram:
that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Avram [Exalted father] rich.’
24 No me den nada más que la comida que han tenido los guerreros que fueron conmigo; pero deje que Aner, Escol y Mamre tengan su parte de los bienes.
I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre [Bitter, Fatness]. Let them take their portion.”
