Antiq. 1:180 (1.10.2.180) where Melchizedek, king of the city Salem, received him. That name signifies the righteous king; and such he was without dispute, insomuch that, on this account, he was made the priest of God: however, they afterward called Salem Jerusalem. How about Psalm 76:2? His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. Funny how in a a Psalm of Zion, Salem just happens to be mentioned, no? Could this be because Zion is in Salem?
