Prophet living at the time of United Monarchy
Nathan
The prophet in David’s court. When David wanted to build a house for Yahweh, God sent Nathan to say that David’s son would build it and that God would build David a house, a dynasty forever (2 Samuel 7:1–17). After David’s sin with Bathsheba, Nathan told him the story of the rich man who took a poor man’s lamb and then said, “You are the man!” (2 Samuel 12:1–14). He also helped secure Solomon’s throne (1 Kings 1:11–45) and is named as a chronicler of David’s and Solomon’s reigns (1 Chronicles 29:29; 2 Chronicles 9:29).
