'''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 Bath-Sheba, 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.
