First, in plain English
He was Boaz's father, and his wife was Rahab, the woman who hid Israel's spies at Jericho, which puts him in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus.
Who this is
Salmon appears in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus as the father of Boaz by Rahab, the Canaanite woman who sheltered Israel's spies at Jericho (Matthew 1:4-5). He is the same man the book of Ruth calls Salmon or Salma, an ancestor of David through the line that runs from Judah's son Perez down to Jesse (Ruth 4:20-21).
