Malchezedek is first mentioned in Genesis
Gen 14:18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High.
Then he is mentioned in Psalms and Hebrews. Melchezedec means righteous. Salem means (thought to be short for Jerusalem) means peace. So he was king of righteousness and king of peace. He is a symbol of Christ. The fact that Abram paid tithes to Melchizedek is seen as a picture of the Aaronic priesthood acknowledging the superiority of Melchizedek's priesthood, because the lesser pays tithes to the greater.
There are several theories of who Melchezedec was:
1. Jesus.
2. Shem son of Noah
3. A godly Cannanite chief.
4. An angel
