Salmon
A leader of the tribe of Judah and a direct ancestor of King David and Jesus Christ.
Salmon is identified in the genealogies of Ruth, 1 Chronicles, Matthew, and Luke as the son of Nahshon and the father of Boaz. He serves as a vital link in the messianic line connecting the exodus generation to the establishment of the Davidic monarchy. His inclusion in the biblical record highlights the continuity of God's covenant promises through the tribe of Judah.
