<p><span>1:4&nbsp;</span><em>Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, Nahshon begot Salmon- </em><span>Salmon was of the tribe of Judah, because this is the genealogy through Judah (1:2). The two spies who had been faithful the first time when spies were sent out were Joshua and Caleb- of the tribes of Ephraim and Judah (Num. 13:6; Jud. 2:9). It seems a fair guess that when the two spies were sent out, they were from these same two tribes. Salmon was a prince of the tribe of Judah- it&rsquo;s a fair guess that he was one of the two spies who went to Rahab, and he subsequently married her.</span></p>
