Bible Question: Was Boaz . . his first name? Was his last name given? Were the people of Old only know by one name? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Judy, It is also interesting that Boaz was the son of Salmon, one of the two spies that entered into the promised land. The two spies were saved from death by Rahab. Salmon went on to marry Rahab and produced Boaz. (see Matt 1:5). Boaz went on to father Obed who was the grandfather of King David. prayon |
