Bible Verses About Jehovah Shalom: 12

"So Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called it The Lord Is Peace."

— Judges 6:24 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Jehovah Shalom want Scripture on the compound name YHWH Shalom — "The Lord Is Peace" — not only the general peace or Prince of Peace lists, and not peace of God or peace with God alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about peace, Bible verses about Prince of Peace, Bible verses about peace of God, Bible verses about peace with God, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about comfort, and Bible verse of the day. Jehovah Shalom here means the altar-name and "Lord of / God of peace" lines — distinct from a full peace inventory alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, יְהוָה שָׁלוֹם YHWH Shalom (Strong's H3073; Bible Hub H3073) — "The Lord Is Peace." Related: שָׁלוֹם shalom (Strong's H7965; Bible Hub H7965) — peace, wholeness, welfare. Judges 6:24 names Gideon's altar after the Angel of the Lord's greeting of peace. This list tracks that name and the Lord-as-peace lines, not the whole peace catalog.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Judges 6 presses that Gideon built an altar and called it Jehovah-shalom — the Lord send peace — taking comfort from the Lord's word of peace (Bible Hub MHC Judges 6; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Judges 6). Isaiah names the child Prince of Peace (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 9; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 9). (Peace and Prince-of-Peace lists live on those pages; this list centers the Peace name.)
