'''Nathan''' is a male [[given name]], from Hebrew '''נתן''' meaning ''gift'' ([[standard Hebrew]] '''Natan''', [[Yiddish]] '''Nussen or Nosson''', [[Tiberian Hebrew]] '''Nāṯān'''). It may refer to:

'''Nathan''' ([[Hebrew]]: '''נתן''' ''Natan'' "gift") was the prophet sent by [[Yahweh]] to rebuke [[David]] for planning the death of [[Uriah]] in battle. [[David]] planned Uriah’s death so that [[David]] could marry Bath-Sheba, who was Uriah’s wife. Uriah died in battle as David planned, and David then married [[Bathsheba]], who then bore David’s son. Nathan then prophesied that the son would die within a week, and he did. The next child born to David and Bath-Sheba was destined to become King [[Solomon]].
Much later Nathan played a key role in ensuring that Solomon would become king rather than [[Solomon]]’s half-brother, [[Adonijah]]. Nathan ultimately outlived both David and Solomon.
