ComfortMarriageLove for othersGrief

22 David answered, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.’

23 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. So she gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved the child

25 and sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah because the LORD loved him.

26 Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.
