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

Praxeas,
There was no increase on Abraham's behalf as Abraham kept none of the war spoils for himself. In
Genesis 14 we read that Abraham kept nothing. Again, there was no increase on Abraham's behalf.
