Context
21Watumishi wake wakamuuliza, “Kwa nini unafanya hivi? Mtoto alipokuwa angali hai, ulifunga na kulia; lakini sasa mtoto amekufa, umeinuka na kula.” 22Akajibu, “Wakati mtoto alipokuwa bado yungali hai, nilifunga na kulia. Nilifikiri, ‘Nani ajuaye? Bwana aweza kunirehemu ili kumwacha mtoto aishi.’ 23Lakini sasa kwa kuwa amekufa, kwa nini nifunge? Je, naweza kumrudisha tena? Mimi nitakwenda kwake, lakini yeye hatanirudia mimi.” 24Ndipo Daudi akamfariji Bathsheba mkewe, akaingia kwake akakutana naye kimwili. Akazaa mwana, wakamwita jina lake Solomoni. Bwana alimpenda Solomoni. 25Kwa kuwa Bwana alimpenda, akatuma neno kwa Daudi kwa kinywa cha nabii Nathani kuwa mtoto aitwe Yedidia* kwa ajili ya Bwana.
