He was a King/Priest combo. The Bible actually says he was a "priest of the Most High God". (Genesis 14:18) He also was able to bless Abraham in the name of the Most High God (Jehovah). This is a unique thing is the scriptures because this was several hundreds of years before Moses wrote the laws concerning the priesthoods that would be part of the nation of Israel.
Because of this, Melchizedek must have been appointed by God directly as his priest. In Psalm 110:4 a prophecy about the coming Messiah included that he would be a "priest forever in the manner of Melchizedek." This is largely interpreted that the Messiah would be both king and priest and also directly appointed by the Most High God (Jehovah).
The Apostle Paul identified that Jesus Christ fit these requirements for the Messiah in Hebrews chapters 5, 6 and 7.
