2 Samuel 12:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³ But why should I fast now that he’s dead? Can I bring him back? ⌞Someday⌟ I’ll go to him, but he won’t come back to me.”

²⁴ Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba. He went to bed with her, and she later gave birth to a son. David named him Solomon. The Lord loved the child ²⁵ and sent a message through the prophet Nathan to name the baby Jedidiah [The Lord’s Beloved].
