2 Samuel 12:24

Solomon - Or "peaceable," a name given to him at his circumcision. Compare Luke 1:59. The giving of the name Jedidiah, by the Lord through Nathan, signified God' s favor to the child, as in the cases of Abraham, Sarah, and Israel. The name Jedidiah (which contains the same root as the name David, namely, "to love" ) indicated, prophetically, what God' s Providence brought about actually, namely, the succession and glorious reign of Solomon over Israel.
