The name 'Jedidiah' meaning 'beloved of Jah'(a form of God's name 'YHWH')(2Samuel 12:24+25) seems to have indicated that God was now blessing David and his marriage with Bathsheba, but the name "Solomon"(meaning 'Peace') was what he was known by, and it was descriptive of what his reign would be like(1Chronicles 22:9-10). Peaceful.
