2 Samuel 12:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 12:25

and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord:
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, ( Matthew 3:17 ) ( 17:5 ) .
