Melchizedek is mentioned three times in the Bible but all three concern the same incident

told first in Genesis chapter fourteen. There Abram encountered him as he was returning

to Mamre (Hebron, mi. !. of !alem" from rescuing #ot and his famil$ from the fourkings of Asia Minor at a place north of %amascus. The$ met in the &alle$ of !ha'eh,

stadia from !alem (G) *+*- Absalom would later erect a monument to himself in this

'alle$, possibl$ the /idron &alle$ !A *0*0". Abram had alread$ been chosen b$ Godto go to 1anaan and become 2a great nation3 through which 2all peoples on earth will be

blessed43 (G) *,5". God planned to use Abram and his descendants, the 6ews, as a

special channel to lead men to faith in the true God but there e7isted other true belie'ers

in this era Abimelech of Gerar (G) 8" had a relationship with God and in this accountMelchizedek has a 'er$ close relationship with God.
