Commentary on Hebrews 7:1
Melchizedek's introduction rehearses Genesis 14:18-20—he was both 'King of Salem' (king of peace) and 'priest of the most high God.' He met and blessed Abraham after the patriarch rescued Lot. The dual role of king and priest in one person was unique and foreshadowed Christ's combined offices. His blessing the greater (Abraham) and receiving tithes established his superiority.
