1Nathan
2He, David's prophet, was from Gibeon, of a Hivite clan, and it was he who taught the king the law of the Lord.
3He foresaw David's sin with Bathsheba, and set out in haste to warn him, but Satan ("Beliar") thwarted his attempt. He found lying by the road the naked body of a man who had been slain;
4and while he was detained by this duty, he knew that in that night the king had committed the sin;
5so he turned back to Gibeon in sorrow. Then when David caused the death of Bathsheba's husband, the Lord sent Nathan to convict him.
6He lived to an advanced old age, and when he died he was buried in his own land.
