Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root verb נָתַן (natan), meaning "to give."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3481 (Ναθάν, Nathan): This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew name Nathan, used in the New Testament genealogies, specifically in the Gospel of Luke, to trace the lineage of Jesus Christ through David's son Nathan (Luke 3:31).

Nathan's role as a prophet and his connection to the Davidic line underscore his importance in biblical history, serving as a conduit for divine messages and a key figure in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.

Usage: Nathan is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals, most notably a prophet during the reigns of King David and King Solomon, and a son of David.

Context: • Nathan the Prophet: Nathan was a prominent prophet during the reigns of King David and King Solomon. He is best known for confronting David about his sin with Bathsheba, as recorded in 2 Samuel 12:1-15. Nathan delivered God's message of judgment and mercy, leading to David's repentance. He also played a crucial role in the succession of Solomon to the throne, as seen in 1 Kings 1:11-45. Nathan's influence extended to the establishment of the Davidic covenant, as he conveyed God's promise to David regarding his dynasty (2 Samuel 7:1-17).

• Nathan, Son of David: Nathan was also the name of one of King David's sons, born to Bathsheba (1 Chronicles 3:5). This Nathan is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 3:31), highlighting his significance in the Messianic line.

• Other References: The name Nathan appears in various genealogical records and lists of officials, indicating its common use in ancient Israel. For example, a Nathan is mentioned as the father of Igal, one of David's mighty warriors (2 Samuel 23:36).
