Answer: Melchizedek, whose name means “king of righteousness,” was a king of Salem (Jerusalem) and priest of the Most High God (Genesis 14:18–20; Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:6–11; 6:20—7:28). Melchizedek’s sudden appearance and disappearance in the book of Genesis is somewhat mysterious. Melchizedek and Abraham first met after Abraham’s defeat of Chedorlaomer and his three allies. Melchizedek presented bread and wine to Abraham and his weary men, demonstrating friendship.
Jibu: Melkizedeki, ambaye jina lake linamaanisha "mfalme wa haki," alikuwa mfalme wa Salemu (Yerusalemu) na kuhani mkuu zaidi wa Mungu (Mwanzo 14: 18-20; Zaburi 110: 4, Waebrania 5: 6-11, 6: 20-7: 28). Melkizedeki huonekana ghafla na kupotea katika kitabu cha Mwanzo ni ajabu kwa kiasi fulani. Melkizedeki na Ibrahimu walikutana kwanza baada ya Ibrahimu kushindwa kwa Kedorlaoma na washirika wake watatu. Melkizedeki iliwasilisha mkate na mvinyo kwa Ibrahimu na watu wake walokuwa wamechoka, kwa kuonyesha urafiki.
