It is used to describe a state of being free from disturbance, where one experiences a sense of well-being and contentment. In the biblical context, "shalvah" can refer to both physical and spiritual peace, often seen as a blessing from God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of peace and security was highly valued, especially given the frequent threats from neighboring nations and the challenges of agrarian life. "Shalvah" was not merely the absence of conflict but encompassed a holistic sense of well-being, including material prosperity and spiritual contentment. This state was often seen as a sign of God's favor and blessing upon His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7951.htm">shalah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>quietness, ease<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>complacency (1), ease (2), prosperity (2), quietness (1), time of tranquility (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שַׁלְוָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>quietness, ease</b></font>; — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/122-7.htm">Psalm 122:7</a> +; construct <font class="hebrew2">שַׁלְוִת</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/16-49.htm">Ezekiel 16:49</a>; <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/1-32.htm">Proverbs 1:32</a>; plural suffix <font class="hebrew2">שַׁלְוֺתַ֫יִךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/22-21.htm">Jeremiah 22:21</a>(<font class="hebrew2">שַׁלְוָתֵךְ</font> Vrss Gie); — <em>quietnees, peace</em>, <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/17-1.htm">Proverbs 17:1</a> (opposed to <font class="hebrew2">רִיב</font>), <a href="/interlinear/psalms/122-7.htm">Psalm 122:7</a>, ("" <font class="hebrew2">שָׁלוֺם</font>); <em>ease, careless security</em>, <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/16-49.htm">Ezekiel 16:49</a> (<font class="hebrew2">שַׁלְוַת הַשְׁקֵט</font>), <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/1-32.htm">Proverbs 1:32</a>; <em>prosperity</em>, <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/22-21.htm">Jeremiah 22:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/8-25.htm">Daniel 8:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/11-21.htm">Daniel 11:21,24</a>; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּ</font> <em>in</em> (time of) <em>security</em> (of sudden attack), if not <em>unawares</em> (Thes Ew Hi Ke and others); compare <img src="/bdbgif/bdb101707.gif"> literally <em>out of quiet</em>, i.e. <em>suddenly, unawares</em> (e.g. 1 Macc 1:30 = <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ἐξάπινα</font>), <font class="hebrew2">מִן שִׁלְיָא</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/3-25.htm">Proverbs 3:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/6-15.htm">Proverbs 6:15</a> ( = <font class="hebrew2">מִּתְאֹם</font>), <a href="/interlinear/psalms/30-7.htm">Psalm 30:7</a> see [ <font class="hebrew2">שָׁ֫לוּ</font>].
