Salmon

"Garment, the son of Nashon (Ruth 4:20; Matt. 1:4, 5), possibly" the same as Salma in 1 Chr. 2:51.

"Shady; or Zalmon (q.v.), a hill covered with dark forests, south" "of Shechem, from which Abimelech and his men gathered wood to" burn that city (Judg. 9:48). In Ps. 68:14 the change from war to "peace is likened to snow on the dark mountain, as some interpret" the expression. Others suppose the words here mean that the "bones of the slain left unburied covered the land, so that it" "seemed to be white as if covered with snow. The reference," "however, of the psalm is probably to Josh. 11 and 12. The" scattering of the kings and their followers is fitly likened unto the snow-flakes rapidly falling on the dark Salmon. It is the modern Jebel Suleiman.

"A promontory on the east of Crete, under which Paul sailed on" his voyage to Rome (Acts 27:7); the modern Cape Sidero.

Definition of Salmon:
"peaceable; perfect; he that rewards"
