TO RECOMPENSE, REWARD
shalam (שָלַם, 7999), “to recompense, reward, be whole, be complete, sound.” A common Semitic term, this verb is found in ancient Akkadian and Ugaritic and in all periods of Hebrew. The root is familiar to most people in the word shalom, which is the common Jewish greeting. The verb shalam occurs just over 100 times in the Hebrew Bible.
In its first occurrence in the Old Testament, the word has the sense of “repaying” or “restoring”: “Why have you returned evil for good?” (Gen. 44:4, rsv). Sometimes it means “to complete or finish”—for example, completing the temple (1 Kings 9:25). In Lev. 24:18, shalam describes compensation for injury: “And he that killeth a beast shall make it good [life for life].”

(šālēm I), intransitive q. be finished, to have satisfaction; pi. repay, reward, fulfill a vow, recompense, retribute, to make complete, to finish; hi. make peace, fulfill, surrender

TO COMPLETE
A. Verb.
shalam (שָלַם, 7999), “to finish, complete, repay, reward.” The Hebrew root denotes perfection in the sense that a condition or action is “complete.” This concept emerges when a concrete object is described. When sufficient building materials were at hand and workmen had enough time to apply them, “the wall [of Jerusalem] was finished” at the time of Nehemiah (Neh. 6:15). However, this Hebrew root is also found in words with so many nuances and applications that at times its original and basic intent is all but obscured. In the nasb, for example, shalam is represented with such words as: “fulfill, make up, restore, pay, repay, full, whole, wholly, entire, without harm, friendly, peaceably, to be at peace, make peace, safe, reward, retribution, restitution, recompense, vengeance, bribe, peace offering.”
Perfection and completeness is primarily attributed to God. He is deficient in nothing; His attributes are not marred by any shortcomings; His power is not limited by weakness. God reminded Job of His uninhibited independence and absolute self-sufficiency: “Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine” (Job 41:11). And Job himself admitted: “And who shall repay him what he hath done?” (Job 21:31).
Without any deficiency or flaw in executing justice, God is likewise never lacking in mercy and power to bestow benevolences of every kind. Job is told by his friend: “If thou wert pure… he would make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous” (Job 8:6). He can make it happen that “… to the righteous good shall be repaid” (Prov. 13:21). Cyrus says of the Lord: “He… shall perform all my pleasure” (Isa. 44:28). The Lord will also “… restore comforts unto him and to his mourners” who wept in the Babylonian exile (Isa. 57:18).
The God of perfect justice and goodness expects total devotion from His creatures. Job, suspected of not rendering the required obedience to his Maker, is therefore urged to “be at peace [with God]” (Job 22:21).
The concept of meeting one’s obligation in full is basic in human relationships. Israel’s social law required that the person causing injury or loss “… shall surely make it good” (Exod. 22:14). “And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast” (Lev. 24:18). In some instances, an offender “… shall pay double unto his neighbor” (Exod. 22:9). David declared that the rich man who slaughtered the poor man’s only lamb “… shall restore the lamb fourfold…” (2 Sam. 12:6). Debts were not to be left unpaid. After providing the widow with the amount needed, Elisha directed her: “Go sell the oil, and pay [shalam] thy debt…” (2 Kings 4:7). “The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again…” (Ps. 37:21). A robber who has mended his ways “… give[s] again that he had robbed…” (Ezek. 33:15).
National relationships were established on the basis of “complete” negotiations. Thus cities and peoples “made peace with Israel” after they agreed to Joshua’s stipulations (Josh. 10:1). War between the two kingdoms ended when Jehoshaphat “… made peace with the king of Israel” (1 Kings 22:44).

Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues. For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup. To the degree that she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, inflict on her that much torment and misery. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see mourning.’."

Following this sign in September is the Revelation 12 sign where the male child is born. Revelation 12 is part of the 7th trumpet. I believe Revelation 11:15-19 may be a summary of Revelation 12-22. If you have any insights from the Spirit regarding this I'd love to hear them. I will respond in a second comment with some further resources explaining the word "Salem" so you can see where my statement is coming from.

Back in 2008, I had this brief dream. I saw a map of America. A line was drawn starting at right under Dallas Texas. It went through AR, TN, KY, Ohio, PA, and ended in NY. I then heard in my spirit, "There is a fault line where there is no fault line."

At the time I thought it had something to do with my relationship with my husband…we were fighting a lot during that time. I thought the dream meant 'something was going to crack' for us. ((We are great now!) However, over time I would come across interesting bits of information that have confirmed to me that the LORD meant something else!

1. A youtuber had posted the exact same line. He was following mini earthquakes that were occurring along sights where there is fracking. ((I don't have a link to his channel b/c info that I had collected over the years was stored on a hard drive that was stolen)). 2. Then in September of 2010 Christchurch NZ experienced a 7.1 earthquake. A year later, they experienced a 6.3.

I did some online research and found that 20 years prior to their earthquakes, they too were fracking. Geologists stated they had found 'fault lines where there were no fault lines previously. That phrase/information really stuck out to me.

3. Now I see this picture of yet another eclipse, seemingly marking America with an X. And if you notice the line of the April 2024 eclipse touches those states I mentioned above except TN. (In my dream the line was a smidge lower and did touch thru TN.) That line goes through the New Madrid fault line.

I praise GOD that HE always gives HIS people a 'heads up' before things happen. I pray we are all able to endure till then end.

Very interesting find with all the Salems!
Peace,
Deirdre

PS David Wilkerson was killed in Texas…somewhere near where I saw the line starting and his church was in NY. He did a sermon years ago, "A call to Agony' I think is what it was.

Yes. That is my understanding.

I gather that you are of the opinion, as I am, that it was Paul who wrote the book of Hebrews?
