Son of Nachshon; of the generation that crossed the Yarden and entered Canaan under Yehoshua
Married Rahav of Jericho after the city's fall (Matthew 1:5 — 'Salmon begat Boaz of Rachab')
Father of Boaz; great-grandfather of David
“Married Rahav after Jericho fell — father of Boaz”
Traditional note: This entry resolves the existing forward references already present in this file: 'rahav.spouses' lists 'salmon', and 'boaz.father' is 'salmon' with 'boaz.mother' as 'rahav'. Ruth 4:20–21 and 1 Chronicles 2:11 also spell the name 'Salmah'/'Salma'; Matthew 1:4–5 and Luke 3:32 both use 'Salmon' (Greek Salmōn), the form used as this entry's id and name_english. Salmon's own mother is not named in scripture (Nachshon's wife is unnamed); per the schema's convention, 'mother' is left null here.
