Just a thought, really, nothing concrete. Possibly by the time the accounts
were penned, Sholomo was no longer considered to be Yedidyah, because he had
gone over to the religion of his pagan wives, his heart no longer joined to
YHWH.

"In his old age, his wives turned away Solomon's heart after other gods, and
he was not as wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God as his father David
had been....Solomon did what was displeasing to the LORD and did not remain
loyal to the LORD." (1 Kings 11:4, 6 JPS Tanakh)

Revisionist history?

Sholomo (Solomon) Landers

This may be more of a theological question than a question of language,
but does anyone have any thoughts as to why we see him referred to as
Sholomo rather than Yedidyah when the text clearly points out that it was
YHWH who named him Yedidyah?
