Jehovah Shalom represents peace, identified with Gideon's altar in Judges 6:24.
In Judges 6:24, Gideon built an altar and called it Jehovahshalom. The Hebrew word shalom means peace, and Les Feldick teaches that the name is translated as 'I am your peace.' This name pointed to the peace that the LORD would bring to Israel in their distress.
Judges 6:24 — This is the verse where the name Jehovahshalom appears, when Gideon builds an altar to the LORD.
The name Jehovahshalom appears in the book of Judges, in the account of Gideon. In Judges 6:24 (KJV), we read: "Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites." The Hebrew word shalom means peace. The name Jehovahshalom therefore carries the meaning "the LORD is peace," connecting the covenant name Jehovah with the peace that He alone can give.
Les Feldick teaches that Jehovah Shalom is one of the seven distinct names of Jehovah that are intrinsic with God's dealing with the nation of Israel. In his teaching on Judges 6:24, he says that after Gideon had dealt with the enemy, Gideon built an altar and called it Jehovah Shalom. Les then explains that Shalom means peace and that the Hebrew phrase is "I am your peace," a name that met every need of the nation of Israel at that time. He also places this name in the broader context of the other compound names of Jehovah, such as Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Rehah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Sidkenu, and Jehovah Shammah. He says all of these names are wrapped up in the one name Jehovah, who is everything to the nation of Israel.
Jehovah Shalom is found in Judges 6:24, where Gideon builds an altar to the LORD and calls it Jehovahshalom. Les Feldick identifies this as the passage where the name appears, and he connects it with Gideon's victory over the enemy.
Shalom means peace. Les Feldick states this directly and translates the name Jehovah Shalom as "I am your peace." He says this name provided for every need of the nation of Israel.
Les Feldick teaches that there are seven distinct names of Jehovah that are intrinsic with God's dealing with Israel. In the clips he mentions Jehovah Jireh (the provider), Jehovah Rapha (the healer), Jehovah Rehah (the shepherd), Jehovah Nissi (the banner), Jehovah Sidkenu (righteousness), and Jehovah Shammah (I am there). He says all these names are wrapped up in the one name Jehovah.
Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah Rapha
Les introduces the pattern of compound Jehovah names, showing names like Jehovah Jireh (provider) and Jehovah Rapha (healer) as part of God's dealings with Israel.
Jehovah Shalom — 'I Am Your Peace'
Les directly identifies Jehovah Shalom as the name Gideon gave to the altar in Judges 6:24, says Shalom means peace, and explains that it is 'I am your peace' meeting every need of Israel.
The 7 "I AM" Names of God — Old Testament to John's Gospel
The Hebrew would read it Jehovah Raph, if I'm not mistaken, and it's the LORD is my shepherd. I don't believe I'm going to make it. Here again Jeremiah is looking forward to the Kingdom, and in verse 6 he writes, In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell safely, and this is his name, whereby he shall be called the LORD our righteousness. In Hebrew it would be Jehovah Sidkenu.
All Jehovah Names Wrapped Up in Jehovah
Les explains that compound names like Jehovah-Nissi, Jehovah-Sidkenu, and Jehovah-Shammah are all wrapped up in the one name Jehovah, emphasizing that Jehovah is everything to Israel.
Seven Distinct Names of Jehovah
Les says there are seven distinct names of Jehovah and gives examples like Jehovah-Jireh and Jehovah-Rehah, placing the teaching about Jehovah Shalom within this category.

Now the Lord, L-O-R-D, is the word that we're going to be later introduced to, Jehovah. So it could be read that in the day that the Jehovah God made the earth and the heavens. Now the very name Jehovah, and we'll look at that more in detail probably in our next half hour, the name Jehovah is that person of the Godhead who is always involved with the human race.

He has now had the privilege of being revealed or having revealed to him this secret, even the hidden. Now I could take you back to Genesis again, but I'm not going to. But you see back when Abraham first had his encounter with Jehovah, if I'm not mistaken the Hebrew name that God ascribed to it at that time was Jehovah Olam.

Now our translators, I've read, use that word Lord instead of Jehovah most of the time, out of courtesy to the old Jewish writers and so forth, because they had such an awe for that name Jehovah that they wouldn't write it. And so they would leave it blank. But our translators came along, and instead of using the word in opposition to that Jewish mentality, they used the word Lord.
Judges 6:23: And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
Immediately before the naming of the altar, the LORD speaks peace to Gideon, reinforcing the meaning of Jehovahshalom.
Judges 6:24: Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
This verse records the only occurrence of the name Jehovahshalom, connecting the altar with the LORD as peace.
In Judges 6:24, Gideon built an altar to the LORD and called it Jehovahshalom. Since shalom means peace, the name means 'the LORD is peace.'
