These are the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

the king said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a cedar house while the ark of God sits inside tent curtains.”

So Nathan told the king, “Go and do all that is on your heart, for the Lord is with you.”

But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan:

Nathan spoke all these words and this entire vision to David.

So the Lord sent Nathan to David. When he arrived, he said to him:

There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.

David was infuriated with the man and said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die!

Nathan replied to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.

David responded to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.”

Then Nathan replied to David, “The Lord has taken away your sin; you will not die.

Then Nathan went home.

The Lord struck the baby that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.

and He sent a message through Nathan the prophet, who named him Jedidiah, because of the Lord.
