June 26, 2013 – 1 Chronicles 2:18 – 2:55

Another list of names, but here we see the son of David named Nathan.  When you look at the genealogies in the Gospels, this son is used in one and Solomon in the other.  I thought it might have been another descendant or even the prophet Nathan that spoke to David, but here we see that David did have a son named Nathan.  I can’t tell whether his mother was Bathsheba and if it was, the Nathan was the son that died to pay for David’s sin.  Chapter 12 of 2 Samuel doesn’t give the name of the child, but it appears that it was Nathan and the prophet that was sent to tell David that he was wrong was also Nathan.  Don’t think I ever realized that.
