“nathan the prophet”

(‘nathan’ (hebrew: נָתַן‎ nāṯan; syriac: ܢܬܢ‎ fl. c. 1000 BC) is a person in the ‘hebrew bible’)

(his actions are described in the books of ‘samuel’, ‘kings’, and ‘chronicles’ (especially ‘2 samuel 7:2-17 / 12:1-25’))

(according to ‘2 samuel’, he was a ‘court prophet’ who lived in the time of ‘king david’)

(he announced to ‘david’ the covenant ‘god’ was making with him (‘2 samuel 7’), and he came to ‘david’ to reprimand him over his committing adultery with ‘bathsheba’ while she was the wife of ‘uriah the hittite’ whose death the ‘king’ had also arranged to hide his previous transgression (‘2 samuel 11-12’))

(according to ‘chronicles’, ‘nathan’ wrote ‘histories’ of the reigns of both ‘david’ (‘1 chronicles 29:29’) and ‘solomon’ (‘2 chronicles 9:29’), and was involved in the music of the temple (see ‘2 chronicles 29:25’))

(in ‘1 kings 1:8-45’ it is ‘nathan’ who tells the dying ‘david’ of the plot of ‘adonijah’ to become ‘king’, resulting in ‘solomon’ being proclaimed king instead)

(‘nathan’ presides at the anointing of ‘king solomon’, and his name appears in the coronation anthem ‘zadok the priest’)

(‘king david’ named one of his sons ‘nathan’, possibly after the ‘prophet’)

(the ‘feast day’ of ‘nathan the prophet’ is on ‘october 24th’)

(in the ‘eastern orthodox church’, and those ‘eastern catholic churches’ which follow the ‘byzantine rite’, he is commemorated as a ‘saint’ on the ‘sunday of the holy fathers’ (i.e., the ‘sunday before the ‘great feast of the nativity of the lord’))
