Smith's Bible Dictionary

ATS Bible Dictionary

Salmon

Or SALMAH 1 Chronicles 2:11, a chief man of the tribe of Judah, husband of Rahab, and father of Boaz, Ruth 4:20 Matthew 1:4,5 Luke 3:32. See ZALMON.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Garment, the son of Nashon (Ruth 4:20; Matthew 1:4, 5), possibly the same as Salma in 1 Chronicles 2:51.

Shady; or Zalmon (q.v.), a hill covered with dark forests, south of Shechem, from which Abimelech and his men gathered wood to burn that city (Judges 9:48). In Psalm 68:14 the change from war to peace is likened to snow on the dark mountain, as some interpret the expression. Others suppose the words here mean that the bones of the slain left unburied covered the land, so that it seemed to be white as if covered with snow. The reference, however, of the psalm is probably to Joshua 11 and 12. The scattering of the kings and their followers is fitly likened unto the snow-flakes rapidly falling on the dark Salmon. It is the modern Jebel Suleiman.

sal'-mon, (salmon, "investiture" (Ruth 4:21), salmah, "clothing" (Ruth 4:20), salma' (1 Chronicles 2:11, 51, 54); Salmon):

(1) The father of Boaz, the husband of Ruth, and thus the grandfather of Jesse, David's father (Ruth 4:20, 21). He is mentioned in both the genealogies of Jesus (Matthew 1:4, 5 Luke 3:32). From Matthew 1:5 we learn that he married Rahab, by whom he begat Boaz.
