According to the Book of Joshua, Adonizedek (Hebrew: אֲדֹנִי־צֶדֶק ʾĂḏōnī-ṣeḏeq, also transliterated Adoni-zedec) was king of Jerusalem at the time of the Israelite invasion of Canaan.
[4] According to the Midrash, the name Adoni-zedek is translated as "Master of Zedek"—that is, "of Jerusalem", the city of righteousness.
[5] Genesis 14:18-20 records that, some 600 years prior to Adoni-zedek, there was another ruler of Jerusalem named Melchi-zedek.
[7] Adonizedek was portrayed by actor Mário Frias (once Jair Bolsonaro's Secretary of Culture) in the Brazilian soap opera A Terra Prometida.
In it, Adonizedek is portrayed as an arrogant king later revealed to be sadistic; further, he keeps the skeletons of his mother and his wife, and talks to them.
