**The whole BDB entry:** n.pr.m. father of Boaz Ru 4:21 (𝔊 Σαλμαν, A 𝔊L -μων), = שַׂלְמָה v 20 (𝔊 id.; read prob. -מוֹן), hence שַׂלְמָא 1 Ch 2:11(×2) (Σαλμων), also (as father of Bethlehem, on identity v. Be NowRuth) v 51, 54 (Σαλωμων, 𝔊L Σαμ(α)α)—? read שַׂלְמוֹן in all.

Why these entries: BDB: same consonants, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses (3 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 0 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (3 candidates)
