Joshua 10:1
Adoni - zedec - This name signifies the Lord of justice or righteousness; and it has been conjectured that the Canaanitish kings assumed this name in imitation of that of the ancient patriarchal king of this city, Melchizedek, whose name signifies king of righteousness, or my righteous king: a supposition that is not improbable, when the celebrity of Melchizedek is considered.
Jerusalem - Yerushalam . This word has been variously explained; if it be compounded of shalam , peace, perfection, etc., and raah , he saw, it may signify the vision of peace - or, he shall see peace or perfection.
