Genesis 4:25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[h] saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.
At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.

h. Genesis 4:25 Seth probably means granted.
i. Genesis 4:26 Or to proclaim
I started to name this "The birth of Seth" but it's much more according to the blueletterbible.org commentary.
Adam and Eve had many children who are not specifically named, but Seth is worthy of mention because he "replaced" Abel and was the one to whom the promise of a deliverer from the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15) would be passed.
Even in those wicked days, the worship of God was not unknown. Some have called Genesis 4:26 "the first revival," because it is the first indication of a spiritual resurgence after a clear decline.

This comment from the easy English commentary is noteworthy.
‘Seth’ means that someone had ‘given’ something. God had given Seth to Eve. In other words, Seth was born. God had not forgotten his promise. God had promised that someone from among Adam’s descendants would save the earth’s people.
People began to think about God. That may mean that they prayed to him. It may mean that they talked about him. And they talked also about everything that he did. It may mean that they possibly called themselves ‘the Lord’s people’.
This chapter is very important. Its writer tells us about people that really lived. That is why it is important. He tells us what some people were like at that time. These events really happened.
