1. Ruth 4:20-21; 1 Chronicles 2:11; 1 Chronicles 2:51; 1 Chronicles 2:54; Matthew 1:4-5; Luke 3:32. Son of Nahshon, the prince of the children of Judah, and father of Boat, the husband of Ruth. (B.C. 1296). Bethlehem-ephratah, which was Salmon's inheritance, was part of the territory of Caleb, the grandson of Ephratah; and this caused him to be reckoned among the sons of Caleb.
