1 Chronicles 22:9

Shall be born . This is not the necessary translation of the verb. The form נוֹלָד does not express here future time. Solomon was already born when the word of the Lord came to David. On the other hand, we may suppose special emphasis to belong to the clause, His name shall be Solomon. The name designates the man of peace , and the clause is an announcement, probably intended to throw further into the shade the alternative name Jedidiah , which also had been divinely given ( 2 Samuel 12:24 , 2 Samuel 12:25 ).
