<p> <strong> NATHAN. </strong> <strong> 1 </strong> . | <p> <strong> NATHAN. </strong> <strong> 1 </strong> . Third son of [[David]] by Bath-sheba ( 2 Samuel 5:14 , but note 2 Samuel 12:24 ). In Zechariah 12:12 the [[Nathan]] who is recognized as head of a house is probably David’s son. In Luke 3:31 the genealogy of [[Jesus]] is traced through Nathan to David. <strong> 2 </strong> . The prophet, a confidential adviser of David. The king desired to build the Temple, and Nathan at first agreed, but later received a revelation forbidding the enterprise ( 2 Samuel 7:1-29 ). The next appearance of Nathan is in connexion with the parable of the ewe lamb, by which David was self-convicted of his sin with Bath-sheba ( 2 Samuel 12:1-15 ). Later, in token that an atonement has been made, he adds to Solomon’s name the significant title <em> [[Jedidiah]] </em> (‘beloved of Jah’). The third service was rendered alike to David and to Solomon. Adonijab had planned a <em> coup </em> by which to grasp the sceptre, now falling from the hands of his aged father. It was Nathan’s watchfulness that discovered the plot, and his ingenuity that saved the kingdom for [[Solomon]] ( 1 Kings 1:1-53 ). It was fitting that a Life of David should come from this friendly hand ( 1 Chronicles 29:29 ). His service to Solomon was recognized by the king, who appointed his sons, Azariab and Zabud, to important offices ( 1 Kings 4:5 ). <strong> 3 </strong> . Father of Igal, one of David’s heroes ( 2 Samuel 23:36 ). The text of 1 Chronicles 11:38 reads, ‘Joel brother of Nathan.’ <strong> 4 </strong> . One of the cbief men who returned with Ezra ( Ezra 8:15 , 1Es 8:44 ). <strong> 5 </strong> . One of the [[Bani]] family, who had taken strange wives ( Ezra 10:39 ); called in 1Es 9:34 <strong> [[Nathanias]] </strong> . <strong> 6 </strong> . A Judahite ( 1 Chronicles 2:36 ). </p> <p> J. H. Stevenson. </p> | ||
