1 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness|; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” Hebrews 7:1-2, New International Version.
