The king of righteousness, king of Jerusalem, priest of the most high God, without father or mother etc (from Heb 7). Is this Jesus coming to meet Abraham? Whether it is or it isn't, we know that Jesus is our great high priest now, He bridged the gap between us and God forever, and He is deserving of our offerings (whether it is a tenth or more!).
Here Abram seems keen to be dependant on no-one other than God for his wealth, even though a lot of the wealth he currently was given to him by the Pharaoh etc. It seems as though Abram might be exercising a bit of discernment, God will let him know when it is and isn't appropriate to accept gifts from the various people he encounters.
