SCRIPTURE

"Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days:" — 1 Chronicles 22:9 (ASV)

For the names of Solomon, compare 2 Samuel 12:24. The former name prevailed, probably because of this prophecy, which attached the promise of a blessing to the name.
