Salmon

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(clothed). (1) Father of Boaz and husband of Rahab (Ruth 4:20-21²⁰And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, ²¹And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, (Ruth 4:20‑21); 1 Chron. 2:11¹¹And Nahshon begat Salma, and Salma begat Boaz, (1 Chronicles 2:11); Matt. 1:5⁵And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; (Matthew 1:5); Luke 3:32³²Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, (Luke 3:32)). (2) One of the high hills surrounding Shechem, which afforded pasturage for Jacob’s flocks (Psa. 68:14¹⁴When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. (Psalm 68:14)). Zalmon (Judg. 9:48⁴⁸And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done. (Judges 9:48)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

When the Almighty scattered kings in some place (probably Palestine) it is compared to “snow in Salmon” (Psa. 68:14¹⁴When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. (Psalm 68:14)—an obscure passage). It is perhaps the same as Mount ZALMON in Judges 9:48⁴⁸And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done. (Judges 9:48), the Hebrew being the same, a wooded mountain near Shechem.
