Genesis 14:18-21New King James Version (NKJV) Abram and Melchizedek18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said: "Blessed be Abram of God Most High,Possessor of heaven and earth;20 And blessed be God Most High,Who has delivered your enemies into your hand."And he gave him a tithe of all.21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself."
The bible does not tell us what happened to Melchizedek.
Melchizedek (a king and priest) lived some 600 years before the Levitical priesthood was instituted. Levitical priests were priests because of their genealogy. Melchizedek (without any genealogy) and Jesus were not Levites. Christ was of the tribe of Judah. The Levites offered animal sacrifices; Jesus offered Himself. In the days of Moses, the tribe of Levi was set apart for priesthood. Later, another family was set apart for kings. The kings ruled the people while the priests offered sacrifices. Christ was both King and Priest; similiar to, but far greater than Melchizedek. Another View: The Genesis account of Abram giving tithes to Melchizedek, King David's Psalm 110:1-4, and Paul's 3 chapters in Hebrews (5 thru 7), will eventually point the reader to conclude that the identity of Melchizedek was the pre-existing Word in the Old Testament (Logos), who lowered Himself and was begotten by His Father to become Jesus our Christ some 2,000 years after blessing Abram.

No Melchizedek did not receive a tithe from David.
Many Biblical scholars believe Melchizedek from Genesis 14:18-20 was God or Jesus, appearing before Abram. Besides that, there is no account of God in a "disguise."

Melchizedek is not a personal name but a title or role in the Bible, meaning "king of righteousness." There is no modern name associated with Melchizedek as he is a historical and biblical figure.
KJV does not say the Melchizedek wrote the psalm110, Psalm 110. 4 refers to Melchizedek as to being a priest forever. Melchizedek did not write anything in the bible, the bible refers to Melchizedek as a type order of priest that has always existed, meaning he is a theophany of Christ (manifestation)
He was titled the father of all prophets.
In Genesis 14Gen 14:18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High.Gen 14:19 And he blessed him and said: "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;Gen 14:20 And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tithe of all.Gen 14:21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself."
Melchizedek is not often mentioned in the Bible. All that can be surmised is that he was a priest and the king of Salem.
