Echo4

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

1 Thess 5:23-28 ?

The divine title 'the God of peace' (5:23) draws on Israel's covenantal naming of God with peace, as where Gideon names the altar 'The LORD is Peace.' A faint backdrop to Paul's recurring peace-of-God title.

Low confidence
2 Cor 13:11-13 ?

The divine title 'the God of love and peace' faintly recalls covenantal peace-name traditions such as Gideon's altar 'The LORD is Peace' (YHWH-shalom). The connection is purely thematic with no verbal overlap, so it is a faint echo. Contested and secondary to the Aaronic blessing as the operative source.

Low confidence
2 Thess 3:16-18 ?

Gideon's altar named 'The Lord is Peace' (YHWH-shalom) supplies a precedent for the divine title 'Lord of peace.' The naming of God by peace is the conceptual link, though Paul's phrasing is his own.

Low confidence
Phil 4:8-9 ?

Gideon's altar 'The LORD is peace' (YHWH-shalom) offers an OT antecedent for naming God by his peace, loosely behind Paul's 'the God of peace.' The volume is very low and the connection figural, but it documents the availability of associating God's name with shalom.
