shalom

in the old testament the hebrew word for peace is shalom

the most basic meaning of shalom is complete or whole

shalom refers to something that is complex with lots of pieces that is in a state of completeness

it is like job who says his tents are in a state of shalom because he counted his flock and no animals are missing

this is why shalom can refer to a person's well-being

like when david visited his brothers on the battlefield he asked about their shalom

when any of these is out of alignment or missing your shalom breaks down

in fact that is the basic meaning of shalom when you use it as a verb

to bring shalom literally means to make complete or restore

so solomon brings shalom to the unfinished temple when he completes it
