  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Nathan 
  given  (1.)  A  prophet  in  the  reigns  of  David  and  Solomon  (2  Chr. 
  9:29).  He  is  first  spoken  of  in  connection  with  the  arrangements 
  David  made  for  the  building  of  the  temple  (2  Sam.  7:2,  3,  17), 
  and  next  appears  as  the  reprover  of  David  on  account  of  his  sin 
  with  Bathsheba  (12:1-14).  He  was  charged  with  the  education  of 
  Solomon  (12:25),  at  whose  inauguration  to  the  throne  he  took  a 
  prominent  part  (1  Kings  1:8,  10,  11,  22-45).  His  two  sons,  Zabad 
  (1  Chr.  2:36)  and  Azariah  (1  Kings  4:5)  occupied  places  of 
  honour  at  the  king's  court.  He  last  appears  in  assisting  David 
  in  reorganizing  the  public  worship  (2  Chr.  29:25).  He  seems  to 
  have  written  a  life  of  David,  and  also  a  life  of  Solomon  (1  Chr. 
  29:29;  2  Chr.  9:29). 
 
  (2.)  A  son  of  David,  by  Bathsheba  (2  Sam.  5:14),  whose  name 
  appears  in  the  genealogy  of  Mary,  the  mother  of  our  Lord  (Luke 
  3:31). 
 
  (3.)  Ezra  8:16. 
 
 
  From  Hitchcock's  Bible  Names  Dictionary  (late  1800's)  [hitchcock]:
