Nathan (Hebrew: נָתָן Nāṯān, "Given"; fl. c. 1000 BC) is a prophet in the Hebrew Bible. His actions are described in the Books of Samuel , Kings , and Chronicles (especially 2 Samuel 7:2–17 , 12:1–25 ).
Nathan (Hebrew: נתן, Modern: Natan, Tiberian: Nāṯān) was the youngest son among four or five children born to King David and Bathsheba in Jerusalem if names were written in order in the Bible (besides Solomon). [1]
The Book of Nathan the Prophet and the History of Nathan the Prophet (Hebrew: דברי נתן הנביא, romanized: diḇrê Nāṯān ha-nāḇî) are among the lost books quoted in the Bible, attributed to the biblical prophet Nathan. They may be the same text, but they are sometimes distinguished from one another.
