- 臣僕問他說、你所行的是甚麼意思.孩子活著的時候、你禁食哭泣.孩子死了、你倒起來喫飯。
- 大衛說、孩子還活著、我禁食哭泣、因為我想、或者耶和華憐恤我、使孩子不死、也未可知。
- 孩子死了我何必禁食.我豈能使他返回呢。我必往他那裡去、他卻不能回我這裡來。
- 大衛安慰他的妻拔示巴、與他同寢、他就生了兒子、給他起名叫所羅門。耶和華也喜愛他.
- 就藉先知拿單賜他一個名字叫耶底底亞、因為耶和華愛他。

- His servants asked him, "Why are you acting this way? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!"
- He answered, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, 'Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let the child live.'
- But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me."
- Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. She gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. The LORD loved him;
- and because the LORD loved him, he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah.
