Peace and war are related in that peace is the result of victory. Peace can only happen after overcoming a struggle.
This is well described in Isaias 11: 1-10. The writing first starts off saying how God will punish those that are not doing his will (in a way declaring war). Then the following paragraphs talk of peace:
Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.
6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall feed; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
9 They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
So the bible promotes peace, because it promises to overcome and be victorious.

And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.
ISAIAH 2:1-2
this is talking about jehovah god, and how his kingdom will come and he will overpower every nation.
and then he will do this...
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4

Jesus said in Mat 5:43-48, "Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy: (44) but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; (45) that ye may be sons of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. (46) For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? (47) And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same? (48) Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
And again in Luk 6:27-30, Jesus said, "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, (28) bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. (29) To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloke withhold not thy coat also. (30) Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again."
And finally, in Rom 12:17-21 it says, "Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honourable in the sight of all men. (18) If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. (19) Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. (20) But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. (21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
