Job 1:9-11 LXX
Then the slanderer answered and said before the Lord, “Does Job really worship the Lord for nothing? Have you not put a fence around things external to him, both what is within his household as well as what is outside of all that belongs to him, all around? You blessed the works of his hands, and his livestock you increased on the earth. But stretch out your hand, and touch all that he has; surely he will bless (Heb = euphemism) you to your face!”
Job 2:4-6
Then the slanderer continued and said to the Lord, “Skin for skin; WHATEVER A PERSON HAS HE WILL USE TO SPARE HIS LIFE. However, stretch out your hand, and touch his bones and his flesh; surely he will bless (Heb = euphemism) you to your face!” Then the Lord said to the slanderer, “Very well, I am handing him over to you; only spare his life.”

And he said, “Why is it that you go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath.” And she said, “Peace.” And she saddled the donkey and said to her lad, “Lead, go; do not hold back for me to mount, for if I tell you . . . ! Come on, and you shall go and come to the man of God at the Carmelite mountain.”
And it happened, as Elisaie saw her coming, that he said to Giezi, his lad, “Look, indeed there is that Somanite woman; now run to meet her, and you shall say, Do you have peace? Does your husband have peace? Does the child have peace?” And she said, “Peace.” And she came to Elisaie at the mountain, and she caught hold of his feet. And Giezi approached to push her away. And Elisaie said, “Let her alone, for her soul is painful to her, and the Lord hid it from me and did not tell me.”
She was sincere when she said Shalom/Peace
