Nashon
The name Nashon is derived from the Hebrew root "נַחְשׁוֹן" (Nachshon), which means "enchanter" or "oracle." Nashon is a significant figure in the genealogies of Israel, as he is identified as a leader of the tribe of Judah during the wilderness period. His role as a leader is highlighted in the Book of Numbers, where he is mentioned as the head of the tribe of Judah during the census (Numbers 1:7). Nashon's leadership and faith are often celebrated in Jewish tradition, as he is believed to have been the first to enter the Red Sea during the Exodus, demonstrating his trust in God's deliverance. This act of faith is a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping out in faith, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

was the father of
This phrase indicates the genealogical relationship and the continuation of the family line. In the context of 1 Chronicles, genealogies serve not only as historical records but also as theological affirmations of God's faithfulness to His covenant people. The phrase "was the father of" underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the transmission of faith and promise from one generation to the next. It reminds us of the enduring nature of God's promises and the role of family in the unfolding of His divine plan.

Salmon
The name Salmon, from the Hebrew "שַׂלְמוֹן" (Salmon), is significant in the biblical narrative as he is an ancestor of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ. Salmon's inclusion in the genealogy highlights the providential hand of God in orchestrating the lineage through which the Messiah would come. According to the Book of Ruth, Salmon is married to Rahab, the Canaanite woman who showed faith in the God of Israel and was spared during the conquest of Jericho (Matthew 1:5). This union is a testament to God's grace and the inclusion of Gentiles into His redemptive plan. Salmon's place in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the inclusivity of God's kingdom and the transformative power of faith and redemption.

Verse 11. - Salma, Hebrew שַׂלְמָא; but Ruth 4:20, שַׂלְמָה and in following verse שׂלְמון. The variation of the first two of these forms has many parallels, as between Chronicles and the earlier Old Testament Scriptures.
