she.lam denotes a peace greeting or wish in royal correspondence.

The attested use is a peace formula in the openings of royal communications: Ezra 4:17 addresses recipients with “Peace,” and Ezra 5:7 closes its address to Darius with “all peace.” Daniel 6:26 supplies only the construct form within a decree, while the translation does not isolate its contribution clearly.

2. Construct-form occurrence in a decree · rare

   In Daniel 6:26, the singular construct form occurs within a decree concerning fear before the God of Daniel and the enduring kingdom; the APB does not make this term's individual contribution clear.

   Daniel 6:26

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term visibly as “Peace” in Ezra 4:17 and “all peace” in Ezra 5:7. In Daniel 6:26, its contribution is not isolable from the translated decree.
