'''David Evan Pedley''' was born in ] on April 8, 1929 and is one of the
reputed founders of the ]. He wrote the ]'s preface,
translated Genesis, Exodus, Matthew and parts of Revelation as his "gift" to the Dominion of
Melchizedek according its "Introduction" which was first published in 1986. He also wrote the Glossary, which is called the "Key of David."

According to the introduction of the Melchizedek Bible, David Pedley graduated from the ], Los Angeles. In his twenties, David became an entrepreneur. He attended classes with Dr. Josiah Merriman, a doctor turned ]. Dr. Merriman "emphasized the importance of resurrecting the Dominion of Melchizedek from antiquity."

David was incarcerated in the 1970's after being convicted of several financial crimes, including stock fraud. Pedley claims the charges were false and the result of a "witch-hunt" against him.
While incarcerated, David started a cattle business, which Ben David operated for him in Los Angeles,
California.

Released in 1975, David partnered with his son Ben David in a real estate enterprise in Northern
California. Pedley came under repeated grand jury investigations that resulted in further indictments
against him. In 1982, David and his son Ben David fled to Mexico to avoid arrest. Ben David was arrested in January 1983 by Mexican immigration for not renewing his visa. After being deported to the U.S. Ben David was held pending trial. David Pedley surrendered to Mexican authorities. While
incarcerated in Mexico, Pedley apparently began work on the Melchizedek Bible which was written over a period of 5 years by hand and on a computer (which he received from his son Ben David).
David Pedley apparently died while in Mexican custody, though the circumstances are not clear. A closed casket funeral was held in Altadena, California. At the funeral, FBI agents approached the Pedley family and requested to fingerprint David’s body. This request was denied by the family and allegedly some government regulators believe that David Pedley is still alive.
