Melchizedek is the king of a far away land by the name of Salem. He describes the "Personal Legend" to Santiago. He also grants him the two stones that read omens, Urim and Thumimm. It is hinted that Melchizedek is with him at all times during the novel.
The bible does not tell us what happened to Melchizedek.
The main characters in "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho are Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd who sets out on a journey to find his Personal Legend; the Alchemist, an enigmatic guide who helps Santiago learn the ways of the universe; and Fatima, Santiago's love interest who stays behind in the oasis as he continues his journey. Each character plays a significant role in Santiago's spiritual and personal growth throughout the novel.
No Melchizedek did not receive a tithe from David.
A modern-day Melchizedek might be called Mel.
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)
Melchizedek is not often mentioned in the Bible. All that can be surmised is that he was a priest and the king of Salem.

There is no mention of Melchizedek weeping in the New Testament. The only reference to Melchizedek in the New Testament is in the book of Hebrews, specifically in Hebrews 5:6, 6:20, and 7:1-17, where Melchizedek is described as a priestly figure.

Melchizedek is only briefly named in the Bible, but is understood to be a man of great power and faith as Abraham went to Melchizedek to pay his tithes. Clearly the father of nations held great regard for this man.

The Catholic Church teaches that Melchizedek was an early representation of the Christ. He was the King of (Jeru)Salem and a righteous priest.
