In Genesis Chapter 14, a war breaks out and Sodom, where Lot chose to live, is taken. The two men went into the land not asking for a war but life doesn't ask our permission to get crazy on us. Abram hears of the news and swoops in to rescue Lot. The man who kept a close knit walk with God goes and rescues the one who inadvertently wandered into the world. Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High pays a visit to Abram. We don't know much about this king and priest other than being both a king and priest is very rare, he's the first priest mentioned in the Bible, and his name means King of Righteousness. The text about him reads very similar to some of the things Jesus did while He was on Earth such as bringing Abram bread and wine, blessing him, and receiving a tithe from him. The one thing we know for sure is Abram's heart is truly invested in God.
