The Priests of the Most High
They were the Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whose seed would be to HaShem a Kingdom of priests and a holy nation. (Exodus 19:6) Only of such a trinity would be possible a kingdom of priests and a holy nation to be called the priests of the Most High.
According to Genesis 14, there was a war of four kings against Sodom and Gomorrah when Lot the nephew of Abraham had been captured and, Abraham mustered 318 of his servants and went out to fight the four kings and was miraculously victorious over them all.
In his return to Beersheba, Abraham stopped by Jerusalem and, Melchizedek, afraid perhaps that Abraham could take Jerusalem, he offered bread and wine to the Priest of the Most High God and blessed him thus: "Blessed be Abram of the Most High God." (Genesis 14:19)
Now, Abraham, being a prince of justice aka "Melchizedek" who never liked to take any thing for free, commanded that 10% of the lute from the war be given to the king of Jerusalem who just by coincidence, happened to be called Melchizedek but, the Priest of the Most High was Abraham.
Melchizedek was a pagan priest of the Canaanites which, among the offices of his priesthood was to sacrifice the firstborn of his people to Baal Molech the main god of the Canaanites as part of their religious culture of the time.
