Nathan is mentioned as the son of David in 2 Samuel 5:14 and in 1 Chronicles 3:5 and 14:4. Throughout the Hebrew Bible, Nathan is referred to when listing the sons of David. First in 2 Samuel 5:14, "And these be the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,"
Nathan was a court prophet in the time of King David.He is introduced in 2 Samuel 7:2 and 1 Chronicles 17:1 as an advisor to David, with whom David reflects on the contrast between his own comfortable home and the tent in which the Ark of the Covenant is accommodated.
The number of sons by name in the Bible is 19. In addition, two further unnamed sons are recorded as having been born in Jerusalem, one, probably both, having died in infancy. One of these was the first child born of David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba. Only one of David's daughters, Tamar, [1] is mentioned by name. [2]
Nathan then conveyed the first oracle of YHWH (verses 5 and 7) that David was prohibited from building a temple for YHWH in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 22:8; 28:3; 1 Kings 5:17). [18] Nathan later supported Solomon, son of David, to be king (1 Kings 1–2) and to build a Solomonic temple. [18]
Bathsheba and Nathan go to David and obtain his agreement to crown Bathsheba's son Solomon as king, according to David's earlier promise, and the revolt of Adonijah is put down. [80] David dies at the age of 70 after reigning for 40 years, [81] and on his deathbed counsels Solomon to walk in the ways of God and to take revenge on his enemies. [82]
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.
[3] [4] This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. [5] [6] This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 9–20 and continued to 1 Kings 1–2 which deal with the power struggles among David's sons to succeed David's throne until 'the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon' (1 Kings 2:46).

Thirdly, God will establish one of David's sons as king. He will build the temple, and his house will never be out of power. When Nathan reports this to David, David prays to God, thanking him for these revelations. David defeats the enemies of Israel, slaughtering Philistines, Moabites, Edomites, Syrians, and Arameans. He then appoints a cabinet.
