PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 110:4 a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek was king of Salem (Jerusalem) and a priest of God Most High (Genesis 14:18). He met Abraham after a battle, blessed him, and received a tithe from him. The Davidic king is to be like him, probably in the sense that he is both a king and a priest, which were two distinct offices in Israel.
