Natan

Nathan

1001 BC – 970 BC


A prophet in the reign of David through whom the LORD gave the promise that David’s offspring and throne would be established forever (2 Samuel 7:4-17). He confronted David over Uriah and Bathsheba with the parable of the ewe lamb, saying, ‘You are the man’ (2 Samuel 12:1-15). He acted to secure Solomon’s succession (1 Kings 1:22-45). His birth and death are not stated; the bar reflects his period of activity in David’s reign into Solomon’s accession.
