Contextual Overview

¹⁵ Then Nathan went home. And the Lord caused the son of David and Bathsheba, Uriah's widow, to be very sick. ¹⁶ David prayed to God for the baby. David fasted and went into his house and stayed there, lying on the ground all night. ¹⁷ The elders of David's family came to him and tried to pull him up from the ground, but he refused to get up or to eat food with them. ¹⁸ On the seventh day the baby died. David's servants were afraid to tell him that the baby was dead. They said, "Look, we tried to talk to David while the baby was alive, but he refused to listen to us. If we tell him the baby is dead, he may do something awful." ¹⁹ When David saw his servants whispering, he knew that the baby was dead. So he asked them, "Is the baby dead?" They answered, "Yes, he is dead." ²⁰ Then David got up from the floor, washed himself, put lotions on, and changed his clothes. Then he went into the Lord 's house to worship. After that, he went home and asked for something to eat. His servants gave him some food, and he ate. ²¹ David's servants said to him, "Why are you doing this? When the baby was still alive, you fasted and you cried. Now that the baby is dead, you get up and eat food." ²² David said, "While the baby was still alive, I fasted, and I cried. I thought, ‘Who knows? Maybe the Lord will feel sorry for me and let the baby live.' ²³ But now that the baby is dead, why should I fast? I can't bring him back to life. Someday I will go to him, but he cannot come back to me." ²⁴ Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife. He slept with her and had sexual relations with her. She became pregnant again and had another son, whom David named Solomon. The Lord loved Solomon.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet,.... 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:

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 12:25. Called - Jedidiah — ידידיה, literally, the beloved of the Lord. 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.
