Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Behold, a son shall be born to thee,.... For this was said to David before the birth of Solomon, see Sa2 7:12 . 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 (q): 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 Kg1 4:24 . (q) Pirke Eliezer, c. 32.
