Nathan

Nathan was a prophet in the Hebrew Bible who lived around 1000 BC. He is best known for his role in the story of David and Bathsheba. Nathan was a close friend of David, and he often used his position as a prophet to give David advice and guidance. One day, Nathan came to David and told him a story about a rich man who had many sheep and cattle. The rich man took a poor man's only lamb and killed it for his dinner. David was furious at the rich man's cruelty, and he said that the man should be punished. Nathan then told David that he was the rich man in the story. He had taken Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, and had her husband killed. David was deeply ashamed of his sin, and he repented. Nathan forgave David, and he helped him to make things right with Uriah's family. Nathan was a wise and compassionate man who used his gifts to help others. He is a reminder that even the most powerful people can be brought low by their sins, and that forgiveness is always possible.
