I never said anything about a regular event. The principle is "as the Lord increases".
Abraham was increased by capturing the booty and so he gave a 10th of it to the priest of Salem.
No he was not paying a fee to travel through the land. He gave him a tenth because of his Priesthood, not a tax by a king
BTW the priest/king did not demand a tithe/tax. Abraham volunteered the goods
