GarmentShady; or Zalmon (q.v.), a hill covered with dark forests, the son south of Nashon Shechem, from which Abimelech and his men gathered wood to burn that city (Ruth 4Judg. 9:20; Matt48). In Ps. 168:414 the change from war to peace is likened to snow on the dark mountain, 5)as some interpret the expression. Others suppose the words here mean that the bones of the slain left unburied covered the land, so that it seemed to be white as if covered with snow. The reference, however, possibly of the same as Salma in 1 Chrpsalm is probably to Josh. 11 and 12. The scattering of the kings and their followers is fitly likened unto the snow-flakes rapidly falling on the dark Salmon. 2:51It is the modern Jebel Suleiman.
