H7965:shalom:peace

<p>TDNT re shalom: &nbsp;Its basic sense is not the narrower one of “peace” but the wider one of “well-being.” It may be used for the good fortune of the wicked, for health, and for national prosperity, which implies stability. &nbsp;While there is a material content to Shalom, it is always a religious term inasmuch as all blessings are seen to come from God. &nbsp;The peace that God gives is all-sufficient. &nbsp;It carries with it solid blessings, e.g. peace from enemies and wild beasts. &nbsp;(Lev 26.6), particularly referring to the special sense of the peace and blessings resulting from occupation of the Promised Land.&nbsp;</p>
