Book of Nathan the Prophet

NATHAN

The name Na'than first appears in biblical reference (KJV)II Sam. 4:13-16: ...and there were yet sons and daughters born to David. And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Sham-mu'a and Sho'bab, and Na'than, and Sol'o-mon, Ib'har also, and El-i-shu'a, and Ne'pheg, and Ja-phi'a, and E-lish'a-ma, and E-li'a-da, and E-liph'a-let.

Na'than the Prophet is first mentioned in II Sam. 7:2

That the king (David) said unto Na'than the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

Supposition:

As Na'than counselled David with the Lord's Word prior to the conception and birth of Sol'o-mon, and as David ruled in Jerusalem 33 years [II Sam. 5:5] it is possible that David's 3rd son Na'than is the Prophet Na'than's namesake.

Further study of the Prophet Na'than can be found in the King James Bible verses: II Samuel 7:17; II Sam. 12; I Kings 1:8-24;34.
