King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine, since he was serving as the priest of God Most High.

His abode is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

Now this man Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham and blessed him when he was returning from defeating the kings.

Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything. In the first place, his name means "king of righteousness," and then he is also king of Salem, that is, "king of peace."
