Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: shalmon
Pronunciation: shal-MONE
Phonetic Spelling: (shal-mone')
Definition: Salmon
Meaning: a bribe

Word Origin: Derived from the root word שָׁלוֹם (shalom), meaning "peace" or "completeness."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4537: Σαλμών (Salmon)

Usage: The name "Shalmon" or "Salmon" is used in the Bible as a proper noun, referring to a specific individual in the genealogies of Israel. Salmon is noted as an ancestor of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ. The name itself suggests a connotation of peace or completeness, reflecting the root word "shalom."

Cultural and Historical Background: Salmon is a significant figure in the genealogical records of the Israelites. He is mentioned as the father of Boaz, who married Ruth, a Moabite woman. This union is notable for its inclusion of a Gentile into the lineage of David and the Messiah, highlighting the theme of God's redemptive plan extending beyond Israel. Salmon's marriage to Rahab, a former Canaanite prostitute who aided the Israelite spies, further underscores the inclusivity and grace found in God's covenant community.
