14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.


Genesis 14


14And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.


 15And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.


 16And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.


 17And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.


 18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.


 19And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:


 20And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.


 21And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.


 22And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,


 23That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:


 24Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Questions:  Who gave what to who? 

Where did he get it from?

What did he end up with?

Why?
