Behold, a son shall be born to thee, etc.] For this was said to David before the birth of Solomon, (see <100712>2 Samuel 7:12,13 12:24) who shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: and so should be at leisure for such a work, and his people enjoy great prosperity and riches, and so be capable of contributing largely and liberally to it: for his name shall be Solomon; which signifies peace, and is one of the six persons that had their names given them before they were born, as the Jews observe f90: and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days; and so a proper time to begin and carry on such a work; of the fulfilment of this prophecy, (see <110424>1 Kings 4:24,25 5:3,4).
