(Salem High Priest King Melchizedek is one of the Amazing Priestly Ruler in the Bible who appears briefly but is mentioned as the True example of Devout Holiness and Righteous living. His name means "King Of Righteousness," and his title — King of Salem — means "King Of Peace." He was born in Salem, in Canaan, which later & greater became Jerusalem...Selah

THE ORTHODOX PRIESTHOOD OF THE LINE OF JUDAH

In the episode, Melchizedek meets Abraham on his return from battle, gives him bread and wine and blesses Abraham in the name of “God Most High” (in Hebrew El ʿElyon). In return, Abraham gives him a tithe of the booty ie the tenth part of the congregation offering of the priestly service collections 

Melchizedek is an old Canaanite name meaning “My King Is (The Jah) Sedek” or “My King Is Righteousness” (Thus meaning of the similar Hebrew cognate) Salem, of which he is said to be King, is Notably Jerusalem. Psalm 76:2 refers to Salem in a way that implies that it is synonymous with Jerusalem, and the reference in Genesis 14:17 to “The King’s Valley” further confirms this identification. The god whom Melchizedek serves as Priesthood is “El ʿElyon,” again a name of Canaanite origin, Amicably designating the high Jah of their Pantheon, as of particularly respected, infamous, or important people known for their dedication in the faith of the ancient Priestly ordain roles of service via Jerusalem

For Abraham to recognize the authority and authenticity of a Canaanite Priestly-King is a spiritual blessings that baptize his position as host of nations to set the ordained order thereof 

This preserved as the foundation for the days of King David, serving as an apologia for David’s making Jerusalem his headquarters and setting up the divine priesthood there

Abraham’s paying tribute to a Jerusalem Priest-King then anticipate the time when Abraham’s descendants would bring tithes to the Priests of Jerusalem ministering in the sanctuary at the Davidic capital

The faith also relate to the connections between the Levite Priests descended from Abraham and the Zadokite Priests of Jerusalem, who later changed their allegiance to Yahweh, the Hebrew Faith

The Zadokites monopolized the Jerusalem priesthood until forcibly taken away to Babylon, at which time Levite priests asserted their own hegemony of leadership or domination ; The Melchizedek chapters can reveal the reascendancy of the powers of the Zadokite Priesthood...

"THE EXILE" FROM JERUSALEM INTO THE LAND OF BABYLON

In the book of Deuteronomy 12:5; the Israelites are commanded not to worship at any site except in the place that the Lord "will choose." After the conquest of Jerusalem, this 'Place Of Zion' was aligned with the biblical tradition that Jerusalem sat atop the site known as Mt. Moriah, the mountain where Abraham demonstrated his faith when Jah told him to offer his son Issac as a sacrifice. The Bible describes the first Temple built there by King Solomon (970-931 BCE) and several artifacts have been found that bolster the existence of this Temple, The Temple of Soloman, along with the City of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonian Empire <587/586 BCE> during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar 11, and many Priests and Aristocrats were taken captives and move to Babylon, This particular period is known as "The Exile" the books of the Jewish scriptures may have reached their final form here; After the Babylonian Empire was conquered by Cyrus The Great of Persia < C.600-530 BCE>  he permitted the Jews to return and rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple. This period is known as the Second Temple Period <515 BCE - 70 CE> 

C. 330 BCE, Alexander the Great conquered most of the territories in the eastern Mediterranean, including Jerusalem. After his death (323 BCE), his empire was divided among his generals in the Wars of the Diadochi, and for decades, the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Dynasty fought over Israel and Jerusalem. 

THE PTOLEMAIC DYNASTY REIGNS IN ANCIENT EGYPT

The Ptolemaic dynasty , sometimes also known as the Lagids (/ˈlædʒɪdz/) or Lagidae (/ˈlædʒɪdi/; Λαγίδαι, Lagidai, after Lagus, Ptolemy I's father), was a Macedonian Greek royal family, which ruled the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt during the Hellenistic period. Their rule lasted for 275 years, from 305 to 30 BC. They were the last dynasty of ancient Egypt. Ptolemy, one of the seven somatophylakes (templeguards) of Macedon who served as Alexander the Great's generals and deputies, was appointed satrap of Egypt after Alexander's death in 323 BC. In 305 BC, he declared himself Ptolemy I, later known as Sōter "Saviour". The Egyptians soon accepted the Ptolemies as the successors to the pharaohs of independent Egypt. Ptolemy's family ruled Egypt until the Roman conquest of 30 BC. Like the earlier dynasties of ancient Egypt, the Ptolemaic dynasty practiced inbreeding including sibling marriage, but this did not start in earnest until nearly a century into the dynasty's history. All the male rulers of the dynasty took the name Ptolemy, while queens regnant were all called Cleopatra, Arsinoe or Berenice. The most famous member of the line was the last queen, Cleopatra VII, known for her role in the Roman political battles between Julius Caesar and Pompey, and later between Octavian and Mark Antony. Her apparent suicide at the conquest by Rome marked the end of Ptolemaic rule in Egypt.

THE TEMPLE OF KING SOLOMAN OF ANCIENT JERUSALEM

Construction:

In the Bible book 2 Samuel, Hiram I, the King of the Phoenician city state Tyre, becomes an ally of King David, following his conquest of Jerusalem. The friendship continues after King Solomon succeeds David and a literary account of how Hiram helps Solomon build the Temple is given in the Bible books 1 Kings chapter 5 to 9 and 2 Chronicles chapter 2 to 7.

Hiram agrees to Solomon's request to supply him with cedar and cypress tree for the construction of the Temple. He tells Solomon that he will send the trees by sea: "I will make them into rafts to go by the sea to the place that you indicate. I will have them broken up there for you to take away. In return for the lumber, King Solomon sends him wheat and oil. King Solomon also brings over a skilled craftsman from Tyre, also called Hiram (or Huram-abi), who oversees the construction of the Temple. Stonemasons from Gebal (Byblos) cuts stones for the Temple.

According to 1 Kings, the foundation of the Temple is laid in Ziv, the second month of the fourth year of King Solomon's reign and construction is completed in Bul, the eighth month of King Solomon's eleventh year, thus taking about seven years. According to Flavius Josephus, "King Solomon began to build the temple in the fourth year of his reign, on the second month, which the Macedonians call Artemisius, and the Hebrews Jar, five hundred and ninety two years after the exodus out of Egypt, but after one thousand and twenty years from Abba Abraham's coming out of Mesopotamia into Canaan and after the deluge one thousand four hundred and forty years; and from Adam, the first man who was created, until King Solomon built the temple, there had past in all three thousand one hundred and two years."

After the Temple and palace (taking an additional 13 years) is completed, King Solomon gives Hiram twenty towns in the Galilee as a partial payment for goods delivered. But when Hiram comes to see the towns he isn't pleased: "What are these towns that you have given me, my brother?" he asks. Though he remains on friendly terms with Solomon.

The Bible book 2 Chronicles fills in some details of the construction not given in 1 Kings. It states that the trees sent as rafts were sent to the city of Joppa on the Mediterranean coast, and in return for the lumber supplied, King Solomon, in addition to the wheat and oil, sent wine to Hiram

Transfer of the Ark of the Covenant:

1 Kings 8:1-9 and 2 Chronicles 5:2-10 record that in the seventh month of the year, at the feast of Tabernacles, the Priests and the Levites brought the Ark of the Covenant from the City of David and placed it inside the Holy of Holies.

Dedication:

In an artistic representation, King Solomon dedicates the Temple as a place of prayer

1 Kings 8:10–66 and 2 Chronicles 6:1–42 recount the events of the temple's dedication. When the Priests emerged from the Holy of Holies after placing the Ark there, the Temple was filled with an overpowering cloud which interrupted the dedication ceremony, "for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord [such that] the priests could not stand to minister" (1 Kings 8:10–11; 2 Chronicles 5:13, 14). King Solomon interpreted the cloud as "proof" that his pious work was accepted"

The Lord has said that he would dwell in thick darkness. I have built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever. (1 Kings 8:12-13)

The allusion is to Leviticus 16:2:

The Lord said to Moses: Tell your brother Aaron not to come just at any time into the sanctuary inside the curtain before the mercy seat that is upon the ark, or he will die; for I appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.

The Pulpit Commentary notes that "King Solomon had thus every warrant for connecting a theophany with the thick dark cloud"

King Solomon then led the whole Assembly of Israel in prayer, noting that the construction on the temple represented a fulfilment of Jah's promise to King David, dedicating the temple as a place of Prayer and Reconciliation for the people of Israel and for foreigners living in Israel, and highlighting the paradox that Jah who lives in the heavens cannot really be contained within a single building.

The Dedication was concluded with musical celebration and sacrifices said to have included "twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep" These sacrifices were offered outside the Temple, in "the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the Lord", because the altar inside the Temple, despite it's extensive dimensions, was not big enough for the offerings being made that day. The celebration lasted eight days and was attended by "very great Assembly "gathered" from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt" The subsequent Feast Of Tabernacles extended the whole celebration to 14 days, before the people were "sent away to their homes".

After the Dedication, King Solomon hears in a dream that Jah has heard his Prayer, and Jah will continue to hear the Prayers of the people of Israel if they adopt the four ways in which they could move Jah to action: Humility, Prayer, seeking his face, and turning from wicked ways. Conversely, if they turn aside and forsake Jah's Commandments and worship other Jahs, then Jah will abandon the Temple: "This house which I have sanctified for my Name I will cast out of my sight".

Joash's Restoration:

2 Kings 12:1–17 and 2 Chronicles 24:1–14 recount that King Joash and the Priests of the Temple organised a Restoration programme funded from popular donations. The Temple was Restored to its original condition and further reinforced.

Plunder and destruction:

According to the Tanakh, the Temple was plundered by the Neo-Babylonian Empire king Nebuchadnezzar II when the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem during the brief reign of Jehoiachin c. 598 BCE (2 Kings 24:13). A decade later, Nebuchadnezzar again besieged Jerusalem and after 30 months finally breached the city walls in 587 BCE, subsequently burning the Temple, along with most of the city (2 Kings 25). According to Jewish tradition, the Temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of Av (Hebrew calendar),
