Salma

Meaning: peace; perfection · Male · 2 cross references

Salma is a Judahite clan figure associated with Bethlehem and the Calebite branches in Chronicles. He belongs to the family material that links places, clans, and descent inside Judah. First appears in 1 Chr 2:51.1

AI summary: Salma matters because his cross references place him in the network of Judahite ancestry tied to settlements and clan identities rather than to a single narrative episode. Through names like his, Chronicles preserves how family lines and local belonging were intertwined. Taken together, the material presents Salma as a clan-defining figure within Judah's remembered social geography.1
