The title "king of Salem" is applied to the Old Testament priest/king Melchizedek.
Genesis 14:18 - Then Melchizedek king of Salembrought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High.
A New Testament reference:
Hebrews 7:1-4 - For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated "king of righteousness," and then also king of Salem, meaning "king of peace," without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.
