Commentary Par XII 69

Aversano (Aver.2000.2), p. 54, sees this verse as reflecting (II Sam. 12:25 [II Kings 12:25]), Nathan the prophet's renaming of the infant Solomon, thus named, according to the preceding verse, by his mother, Bathsheba: 'and [Nathan] called his name Jedidiah [the Beloved of God, "Amabilis Domino" in the Vulgate] because of the Lord.'  Aversano's argument, which is less than immediately convincing, gains strength because of the presence of Nathan in this canto (verse 136), where he is spoken of exactly as he is in this verse of the Bible, 'Nathan propheta' (but see also II Kings 7:2 [and six other O.T. loci]).
