What year did Abraham meet Melchizedek?

Abraham met Melchizedek after his victory in the battle to rescue Lot, which is described in Genesis 14. While the exact year of this encounter is not specified in the biblical text, it is generally considered to have occurred around the early 2nd millennium BCE, during the time traditionally associated with Abraham's life. Melchizedek is depicted as the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, blessing Abraham and receiving a tithe from him.
