I find it interesting that the ancient Hebrew historian Josephus calls Melchizedek two different titles.  In his book called the "War of the Jews", he calls him a Canaanite Chief.  Then in his book "The Antiquities of the Jews", he referred to him as Priest.   

The two references in the bible to Melchizedek referred to him as a King of Salem in Genisis 14  then is referred to as a Priest in Psalms 110.

In one other historical writing type of book they note that he thought he was the first coming of the Messiah and that he would return in the future to fulfill his duties.

This is definitely going to be on my read a research list after I finish working on my writing on Esther.
