22He said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who knows whether Yahweh will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
24David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Yahweh loved him;
25and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named him Jedidiah, for Yahweh`s sake.
26Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yes, I have taken the city of waters.
28Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
