(Heb. שִׂלְמָא, Salma', a garment; Sept. Σαλμάν, Σαλωμών, v.r. Σαλμών ), the name of two men.

1. An ancestor of David and Christ (1 Chronicles 2, 11); elsewhere SALMON (See SALMON) (q.v.).

2. The second-named of three sons of Caleb the son of Hur, called the "father" (i.e. founder) of Bethlehem and of the Netophathites (1 Chronicles 2:51; 1 Chronicles 2:54), B.C. ante 1500. Lord Hervey (Genealogy of Our Lord, ch. 4, 9) confounds this person with the preceding (see Keil, ad loc.).
