Exegesis
The verse opens with bil'aday {בִּלְעָדַי | bil-ʿā-ḏay} ‘besides me’, fronted for emphasis to mark Abram’s personal exclusion from any claim on the spoils.
In context — Genesis 14:24
As for me, only what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me—Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre—let them take their portion.
