The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 14:18

And Melchisedeck . " King of righteousness" ( Hebrews 7:2 ); an indication that the Canaanitish language was Shemitie, having been probably 'adopted from the original Shemite inhabitants of the country. Not a titular designation, like Augustus, Pharaoh, or Malek-ol-adel ( rexjustus ) of the Mohammedan kings (Cajetan), but the name of a person; neither an angel (Origen), nor the Holy Ghost (Hieracas), nor some great Divine power (the Melchisedecians), all of which interpretations are... read more

A king-priest. "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed Abraham," &c.; When the king of Sodom was beaten in a war with Chedorlaomer, Lot was involved in the overthrow. Chedorlaomer was a warrior of great power, and his very name was terrible. Five confederate kings had in vain resisted him with his three auxiliaries. He whom kings could not oppose the simple patriarch Abraham, with armed herdsmen, will... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 14:19

And he blessed him (in which act appears his distinctively sacerdotal character), and said (the form of the benediction is poetical, consisting of two parallel stanzas), Blessed be Abram —so Isaac blessed Jacob ( Genesis 27:27 ), and Jacob Joseph ( Genesis 48:15 ), conveying in each case a Divine bone-diction— of the most high God — לְ after a passive verb indicating the efficient cause— possessor —so Onkelos and Calvin; but koneh, from kanah, to erect, set up, hence found... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 14:19

Melchizedek blessing Abraham. "And he blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth." Wherever in Scripture Melchizedek is spoken of, it is as a type of Christ ( Psalms 110:4 ; Hebrews 5:1-14 ; Hebrews 6:1-20 ; Hebrews 7:1-28 .). We may so regard him here, and consider his act in its typical light. Outwardly the transaction was of little mark. A band of men under Chedorlaomer carried off Lot, along with other spoil, from Sodom.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 14:20

And blessed be the most high God (cf. Genesis 9:1-29 :56), who hath delivered — miggen , a word peculiar to poetry— nathan (cf. Proverbs 4:9 ; Hosea 11:8 )— thine enemies — tsarecha, also a poetical expression— 'ōyeb (cf. Deuteronomy 32:27 ; Job 16:9 ; Psalms 81:15 )— into thy hand. And he —not Melchisedeck (Jewish interpreters), but Abram (Josephus, LXX ; Jonathan, Hebrews 7:6 )— gave him (not Abram, but Melchisedeck) tithes "tenths." These, being the... read more

- Abram Rescues Lot1. אמרפל 'amrāpel, Amraphel; related: unknown. אלריוך 'aryôk, Ariok, “leonine?” related: ארי 'arı̂y, “a lion:” a name re-appearing in the time of Daniel Daniel 2:14. אלסר 'elāsār Ellasar (related: unknown) is identified with Larsa or Larancha, the Λάρισσα Larissa or Λαράχων Larachōn of the Greeks, now Senkereh, a town of lower Babylonia, between Mugheir (Ur) and Warka (Erek) on the left bank of the Frat. כדרלעמר kedārlā‛omer, Kedorla’omer, was compared by Col.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 14:14

Genesis 14:14. He armed his trained servants To the number of three hundred and eighteen: a great family, but a small army; about as many as Gideon’s that routed the Midianites, Judges 7:7. He drew-out his trained servants, or his catechised servants; not only instructed in “the art of war,” but instructed in the principles of religion; for Abram commanded his household to “keep the way of the Lord.” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 14:18

Genesis 14:18. It has been a great question among expositors, who Melchizedek was. The Jewish rabbins say that he was Shem, the son of Noah, who was king and priest to those that were descended from him, according to the patriarchal model. And it must be allowed to be probable that Shem was alive at this time, and that he was a great prince. But as Shem’s genealogy and birth are recorded in Scripture, and were well known, it could, with no propriety, be said of him, as the apostle says of... read more
