easton:

Nathan @ given.

(1.) A prophet in the reigns of David and Solomon ( kjv@2Chronicals:9:29). He is first spoken of in connection with the arrangements David made for the building of the temple ( kjv@2Samuel:7:2-3, 17), and next appears as the reprover of David on account of his sin with Bathsheba (12:1-14). He was charged with the education of Solomon (12:25), at whose inauguration to the throne he took a prominent part (kjvKings:1:8-10, 11, 22-45). His two sons, Zabad ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:36) and Azariah (kjvKings:4:5) occupied places of honour at the king's court. He last appears in assisting David in reorganizing the public worship ( kjv@2Chronicals:29:25). He seems to have written a life of David, and also a life of Solomon ( kjv@1Chronicles:29:29; kjv@2Chronicals:9:29).

(2.) A son of David, by Bathsheba ( kjv@2Samuel:5:14), whose name appears in the genealogy of Mary, the mother of our Lord kjv@Luke:3:31).

(3.) kjv@Ezra:8:16.
