Perhaps David, though grateful that his son would be "beloved of the Lord", didn't want "Jedidiah" to be his son's actual, official name, for reasons that might not reflect well on David.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19219922.post-587259122811485802020-12-08T17:44:11.184-05:002020-12-08T17:44:11.184-05:00Years later...

And the text says in 2Samuel 12:25 that God sent a message to David and he called his son Jedidiah because of the Lord. It is possible that having gone through all of this that David was now at peace, like a sheep before his shepherd. <br />Therefore naming his child Shelomoh or Peace in Hebrew, because he now has peace WITH God and is walking in the peace OF God.<br /><br />(Also go read psalm 51, the song he wrote in light of his sin with Bathsheba. At one point he begged God not cast him away from His presence... now he has peace)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274090374941126170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19219922.post-12898782230220704252016-05-24T09:07:07.400-04:002016-05-24T09:07:07.400-04:00The comparison doesn't sound that accurate.

Jacob had his name changed with understanding of it given to him an he received the name Israel gladly. 2 names were given to one child by 2 different people in referring to solomon/jedidiah. <br />Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389702666049479505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19219922.post-54884684526077684242012-02-23T16:01:05.522-05:002012-02-23T16:01:05.522-05:00Amen.

You answered it for me. Answered from Scripture, was a question about Scripture... God's Will be doneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
