Melchizedek


And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) - Genesis 14:18

King of Salem and priest of God Most High.

After Chedorlaomer and the kings with him were defeated in the War of Nine Kings, the king of Sodom met Abram at the Valley of Shaveh (the King's Valley). And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He blessed Abram, saying, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, / Possessor of heaven and earth; / and blessed be God Most High, / who has delivered your enemies into your hand!" Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
