NATHAN
given. (1.) A prophet in the reigns of David and Solomon (2-Chr 9:29). He is first spoken of in connection with the arrangements David made for the building of the temple (2-Sam 7:2, 2-Sam 7: 3, 17), and next appears as the reprover of David on account of his sin with Bathsheba (12:1). He was charged with the education of Solomon (12:25), at whose inauguration to the throne he took a prominent part (1-Kings 1:8, 1-Kings 1: 10, 11, 22-45). His two sons, Zabad (1-Chr 2:36) and Azariah (1-Kings 4:5) occupied places of honour at the king's court. He last appears in assisting David in reorganizing the public worship (2-Chr 29:25). He seems to have written a life of David, and also a life of Solomon (1-Chr 29:29; 2-Chr 9:29). (2.) A son of David, by Bathsheba (2-Sam 5:14), whose name appears in the genealogy of Mary, the mother of our Lord (Luke 3:31). (3.) Ezra 8:16.
