25<\/strong>. he sent by the hand of Nathan<\/em>, &c.] Jehovah commissioned Nathan (for the phrase cp. Exo 4:13<\/span>) to give the boy a second name, which he did accordingly. This is the meaning of the text as it stands: but some commentators would alter it slightly in accordance with the Vulgate, and render he<\/em> (David) committed him to the hand of Nathan<\/em>, that he might take charge of his education. But the explanation is doubtful, and there is no further trace of the fact, though it has been very generally supposed that Nathan was Solomon’s tutor.<\/p>\n Jedidiah<\/em> ] That is Beloved of Jah.<\/em> Cp. Deu 33:12<\/span>; Psa 127:2<\/span>. It is derived from the same root as David, which means beloved<\/em> or darling<\/em>. The name was given “because of the Lord,” i.e. because Jehovah loved the child; and it served as a pledge to David that he was again fully received into God’s favour.<\/p>\n Verse 25<\/span>. Called – Jedidiah<\/B><\/I>] , literally, the beloved of the<\/I> Lord<\/I>. This is the first instance I remember of a minister of God being employed to give a name to the child of one of his servants. But it is strange that the name given by the father was that alone which prevailed.<\/P> <\/p>\n Either because of the Lords love to him, as the name signifies; or because the Lord commanded him to do so. <\/P> <\/p>\n And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet<\/strong>,…. Either David did; he sent by him to Bathsheba, to acquaint her with the name of the child, that it was to be Solomon; which is not so likely: or “he, David, delivered it into the hand of Nathan the prophet”; to educate it, instruct it, and bring it up in the nurture of the Lord; or rather the Lord sent a message by Nathan the prophet to David, that he loved Solomon:<\/p>\n and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord<\/strong>: that is, David also called him by this name, because of the love of the Lord unto him; for Jedidiah signifies “the beloved of the Lord”; a name and character which well agrees with the Messiah, Solomon’s antitype, Mt 3:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n (25) Jedidiah.<\/strong>It does not appear that this name (beloved of the Lord<\/em>) <\/em>was intended to do more than express the Divine acceptance of Solomon; and it never came into use as a personal title.<\/p>\n 25<\/strong>. <\/strong> He sent <\/strong> That is, Jehovah sent Nathan to give the child yet another name peculiarly comforting to David. <\/p>\n Jedidiah <\/strong> That is, darling of Jehovah. <\/em> This name and that of David are from cognate roots, which are identical in meaning, and all such play on words had great significance with both the ancient and modern Orientals. Great must have been David’s comfort when Nathan, who had so lately uttered against him the judgment of God, came with a message of love, and gave the newborn child a name so expressive of Jehovah’s restored favour. <\/p>\n Because of the Lord <\/strong> That is, because the Lord loved him.<\/p>\n 2Sa 12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.<\/p>\n Ver. 25. And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet.<\/strong> ] Who was Solomon’s educator et pedagogus,<\/em> tutor and monitor to fit him for the kingdom, saith Lyra: and by whom God would comfort David, as before he had humbled him by the same Nathan. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And he called his name Jedidiah,<\/strong> ] i.e., <\/em> Beloved of the Lord. This was more than to be called, as Scipio afterwards was, Corculum,<\/em> the people’s sweet heart: or as Titus, Generis humani deliciae,<\/em> the darling of mankind: or as Otho the emperor, Miraculum mundi,<\/em> the world’s wonder. David signifieth beloved: but Jedidiah, the Lord’s beloved: and this, <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because of the Lord.<\/strong> ] That is, For the Lord Christ’s sake, as Junius senseth it, in whom alone Solomon was, and all the elect are, beloved of God. Mat 3:17<\/span> <\/em> Eph 1:6 <\/em> Psa 127:3 <\/p>\n He: i.e. Jehovah, by the hand of Nathan, in contrast with Bath-sheba. See note on 2Sa 12:24. <\/p>\n Jedidiah = beloved of Jah.
