TheBook of Nathan the Prophet and theHistory of Nathan the Prophet (Hebrew:דברי נתן הנביא,romanized: diḇrê Nāṯān ha-nāḇî) are among thelost books quoted in the Bible, attributed tothe biblical prophet Nathan. They may be the same text, but they are sometimes distinguished from one another. No such text is found anywhere in theHebrew Bible, so it is presumed to have been lost or removed from earlier texts.
This text is sometimes calledNathan the Prophet orThe Acts of Nathan the Prophet.[citation needed] It is distinguished from a similar text referenced in 2 Chronicles, theHistory of Nathan the Prophet, which may both refer to the same text.
TheBook is described at1 Chronicles 29:29:
"Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in thebook of Samuel the seer, and in thebook of Nathan the prophet, and in thebook of Gad the seer."
TheHistory is described in2 Chronicles 9:29:
"Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy ofAhijah the Shilonite, and in the visions ofIddo the seer againstJeroboam the son of Nebat?"
These writings of Nathan andGad may have been included in 1 and 2 Samuel.[citation needed]
