Commentary on Judges 6:242 voices
“Gideon built an altar - and called it Jehovah-shalom - The words יהוה שלום Yehovah shalom signify The Lord is my peace, or The peace of Jehovah; and this name he gave the altar, in reference to what God had said, Jdg 6:23, Peace be unto thee, שלום לך shalom lecha, ‘Peace to thee;’ which implied, not only a wish, but a prediction of the prosperous issue of the enterprise in which he was about to engage. It is likely that this is the altar which is mentioned in Jdg 6:26, and is spoken of here merely by anticipation.”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
“This is, (1.) The title of the Lord that spoke to him. The same that is the Lord our righteousness is our peace ( Eph. ii. 14 ), our reconciler and so our Saviour.”
