Brown-Driver-Briggs [שְׁלִי] noun [masculine] quietness; — בַּשֶּׁ֑לִי 2 Samuel 3:27, i.e. quietly, privately (compare  often in the same sense PS4167). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלָה (shalah), which conveys a sense of being at ease or secure.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry that aligns with the concept of privacy or ease is Strong's Greek Number G1748 • εὐσχημοσύνη (euschemosyne), which denotes decorum or propriety, often implying a state of orderliness and tranquility. This Greek term, while not a direct translation, shares thematic similarities with the Hebrew concept of שְׁלִי in its emphasis on a state of peace and proper conduct. Usage: The word שְׁלִי is not directly found in the canonical text of the Hebrew Bible. It is a derivative form that conveys the concept of privacy or a state of being undisturbed. Context: The Hebrew term שְׁלִי, while not appearing directly in the biblical text, is rooted in the concept of tranquility and security, as derived from the root שָׁלָה (shalah). This root is associated with being at ease, often in a context where one is free from disturbance or threat. The idea of privacy in the biblical sense can be linked to the broader theme of peace and rest, which is a recurring motif throughout the Scriptures. The notion of privacy, as understood in biblical times, would encompass both physical and spiritual dimensions, where an individual or community experiences a sense of safety and undisturbed peace. This aligns with the biblical vision of shalom, a holistic peace that includes security, well-being, and harmony.
