Biografie van Salem
<b>Salem</b> is a common name for towns and places, particularly in the Western world. In ancient times it was the name of a locality in the Near East (Palestine), and traditionally identified with Jerusalem, before the name "Jerusalem" was used. It is mentioned in the Bible in Genesis bibleverse-nb||Genesis|14:18|KJV, in connection with the figure Melchizedek, typically translated "King of Salem" which means "King of Peace". However, the Hebrew text, according to some scholars, is not clear; instead of the "King of Salem" (''melekh Salem'') reading, the original text may have had ''melekh shelomo'' ("a king allied to him"). There may also be a connection to the Canaanite god Shalem.<br />
