BeEzrat HaShem
Back to Q&A

Shalom Rav. How could Metzudos Dovid (a Rishon) say in Sefer Shmuel Beis 12:25 that ה אהבו was a name of Shlomo if: #1 - Targum Yonasan Ben Uziel (an Acharon) says on those words "וה' רחמיה", and Targum doesn't generally change names of people; #2 - The pasuk uses י•ה•ו•ה as the word, which would mean she wouldn't even be able to say that this is her son's name without saying Hashem's actual Name.
