Joshua 10:1

Just as the kings of Egypt were all called “Pharaoh” and the kings of the Philistines were called “Avimelech,” the Radak informs us that the kings of Jerusalem were all called either Adoni-Tzedek (master of righteousness) or Malki-Tzedek (king of righteousness, as in Genesis 14:18). This is because Jerusalem is known as the place of righteousness.
