"God was with Israel as they kept themselves aligned with Him, and God is even seen fighting for Israel. In our reading today we see the pagan king of Jerusalem, but this isn’t the first time we’ve come across Jerusalem in the Bible. In the book of Genesis it is referred to as the city of Salem. Genesis 14:18 says, ""Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High."" It is believed that Salem was the ancient name of Jerusalem partly because of what Psalm 76:2 says: ""In Salem also is His tabernacle, and His dwelling place in Zion."" Zion and Salem are the same place, and the Temple of God was
eventually built there. In the time of Joshua, Jerusalem was not an Israelite city and its king, Adoni-Zedek, gathered four other kings and attacked Gibeon – the men who had tricked Israel into making a covenant of peace with them. It was still a covenant though, and as Israel honored their agreement God helped them to defeat the coalition.We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year.
