Judges 6:24 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Jehovah Shalom, means the Lord our Peace. As if he had said, The Lord is at peace with me. It is the title which in that very spot Gideon desired ever after to know his God by. And is it not so by the true believer in Jesus, after once the soul is brought into the possession of that peace with God which is in Christ Jesus? The Lord our peace; the Lord our Righteousness. But there is somewhat particularly striking in the uniform custom holy men of old had in recording divine mercies, and making the very spot forever after memorable where the Lord manifested himself. See Gen_16:13; Gen_22:14; Gen_28:19, etc. Reader! let you and I pause over the passage, and if we know anything of God, ask our own hearts how many memorable spots we have cause to mark in the recollection of divine mercies, where we might call those places by all these names and many others, of Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah our Righteousness. Jeremiah 23:6.
