8 Strengthened by alliances, Samael became more daring in his clothes, bringing terror and destruction
to the territories of distant cities. Cordolaomor's armies and their allies who in those days returned from
other conquests, enraged by Samael's provocations, marched against the four kings, defeating them
again in the Sidim Valley. It was on that occasion that they took captives to the inhabitants of Sodom,
among which was my nephew Lot.
9 Cowed before the fury of the five kings, Samael and his followers hid in their caves, north of the salt
sea.





(Samael makes preparations to conquer Salem and exposes his spy plan. On his way to Salem, his
memories torture him. Salem more beautiful and beautiful than before. Events on the day of the
coronation.)
1 The twelve months from the great sacrifice were almost over. The scepter, fully restored, shone in its
case, while the prince, equally restored from the wounds caused by the rebellion, was glad to see the
Yom Kippur coming from his coronation. Meanwhile, he composed beautiful songs that expressed his
love for Salem.
2 In those twelve months, the city of peace became more beautiful, being adorned as a bride for the
great day of the coronation.
3 A week to Yom Kippur, Samael, totally unaware that the day of his trial was approaching, gathered his
followers, announcing that the next mission would be the conquest of Salem. Before they advanced,
however, he would climb only to check the vulnerable points of the city.
4 After being applauded by the mob, Samael set out on his reconnaissance mission. While he was
advancing alone, he tried not to remember those moments that brought him terror by guilt, but,
dominated by a superior force, he was dragged in his memories to that mountain of cruel torture.
5 His whole past began to come to mind, like a crumbling weight.
6 When he woke up from his memories from which he failed to flee, it was already night. The darkness
that surrounded him seemed the omen of a sad ending. That discouragement, nevertheless, tried to
discard it with the memory of the army that was waiting for him, ready to fulfill his orders, in the
conquest of Salem, where there would be no more memories of that parchment.

7 Dawn reached him being close to Salem. When he saw the Mount of Olives, the memory of the last
time he crossed it came, leaving behind the defeated city. How many nights had passed since then? He
had lost track of time, not knowing that exactly twelve months had passed. He could not imagine that
Yom Kippur was on that morning, the day of his trial.
8 Upon reaching the summit of the Mount of Olives that morning, Samael was surprised to see that the
city had become prettier than before; All of it was adorned with bouquets and flowers, like a maiden
waiting for her boyfriend. And yet Salem was abandoned, having no sign of life in all its mansions. This
led him to conclude that the blows that had annihilated the prince and the scepter had resulted in all
that abandonment. He did not know, however, that at that time all the remnants of that kingdom were
hidden in the great hall of the palace, waiting for the most glorious moment, of the coronation of
Melchizedek.
9 Imaging himself exalted on the abandoned throne, having victorious armies at his feet, the rebel
entered the city, hurrying to the palace. When crossing the main portal that gives entry to the main hall,
he was filled with astonishment to see a crowd of faithful gathered there. On a gold table, adorned with
flowers carved in precious stones, was the empty throne. At the base of the throne was the parchment
of laws, a gold crown full of precious stones and the case he had left empty on that night of betrayal.
Without understanding the puzzle, Samael hid behind a column, fearing to be recognized, and kept
watching.
10 The subjects, with the expression of happy expectation, looked towards the empty throne. Where did
they find reasons for all that joy, if they had lost their king along with the scepter? Samael wondered
about that mystery, when Adonijah, applauded by the subjects, headed for the throne. With a voice full
of excitement for the victory, the founder of Salem announced that the dream of the coronation had
arrived. A shout of triumph echoed through the air when, announced by his father, the beloved prince
entered, heading for the throne. Seeing him covered by a mantle of glory, Samael was possessed by a
terrible dread, and attempted to flee. He discovered, however, that all the portals of the great hall were
closed on the outside.
11 The coronation ceremony began. It was a truly solemn moment. Adonijah, in a reverent gesture, took
the rich crown, placing it on his son's forehead. After leaning toward the case, he opened it carefully,
taking out the restored lute, whose beauty and brightness were far superior to his first condition, as his
waterhouse left Adonijah's hands. Sitting on the throne amid the acclamations of the subjects,
Melchizedek began to play the scepter, drawing chords of great harmony and peace from him. Everyone
quieted down to hear his new compositions expressing his deep love for the scepter and for all that
kingdom of peace.
12 Great emotion invaded everyone's heart at that moment, bringing them to tears. Samael, without
the strength to react, felt tortured by those chords that tortured him by reliving his lost opportunities in
his mind, in a terrible torture for his conscience.
13 Melchizedek had composed for that special moment, songs that portrayed the highlights of Salem's
history; When he began to sing about the friendship he had for Samael, his voice was filled with tears
