Subjects in this Topic:

(2) A son of King David (; ; ).
(3) Father of Igal, one of David's heroes (). In , we have “Joel the brother of Nathanâ€; the Septuagint's Codex Vaticanus has “son†in this verse, but it is impossible to say whether Igal or Joel is the correct name.
(4) A Jerahmeelite (), whose son is called Zabad, whom some suppose to be the same as Zabud (). On this view this Nathan is the same as the prophet (see 1, above).
(5) A companion of Ezra from Babylon ( and 1 Esdras 8:44).
(6) Nathanias (1 Esdras 9:34), one of those who had married foreign wives ().
(7) Name of a family ().
