2 Samuel 12:24-25

SOLOMON IS BORN. (II Samuel 12:24-25)

Bath-sheba . . . bare a son, and he called his name Solomon—that is, "peaceable." But Nathan gave him the name of Jedediah, by command of God, or perhaps only as an expression of God's love. This love and the noble gifts with which he was endowed, considering the criminality of the marriage from which he sprang, is a remarkable instance of divine goodness and grace.
