Salem

 


Bible Dictionary


Salem
(peace).

The place of which Melchizedek was king. (genesis 14:18;hebrews 7:1,2) No satisfactory identification of it isperhaps possible. Two main opinions have been current fromthe earliest ages of interpretation: (1). That of the Jewishcommentators, who affirm that Salem is Jerusalem, on theground that Jerusalem is so called in (psalms 76:2) Nearlyall Jewish commentators hold this opinion. (2). Jerome,however, states that the Salem of Melchizedek was notJerusalem, but a town eight Roman miles south of Scythopolis,and gives its then name as Salumias, and identifies it withSalem, where John baptized.

(psalms 76:2) it is agreed on all hands that Salem is hereemployed for Jerusalem.
