Peace wrote Proverbs

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

via Passage: James 3 (ESV Bible Online).

Peacable? Of course it is! A recent sermon reminded me:

Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her, and she bore a son, and he called his name Peace. And the LORD loved him (2 Sam 12.24)

Peace. Shalom. Solomon..
