Bible Comments

There, to wit, on the top of the rock, as is evident from Judges 6:20, and especially from Judges 6:26, where that which is here expressed only in general, and by anticipation, is more particularly described, according to the usage of the Scripture. Jehovah-shalom, i.e. the Lord's peace; the sign or witness of God's speaking peace to me, and to his people; or the place where he spake peace to me, when I expected nothing but destruction.

Judges 6:24
