Nathan

the king said to Natan the prophet, "Here, I'm living in a cedar-wood palace; but the ark of God is kept in a tent!"

Natan said to the king, "Go, do everything that is in your heart, for ADONAI is with you."

But that same night the word of ADONAI came to Natan:

Natan told David all of these words and described this entire vision.

ADONAI sent Natan to David. He came and said to him, "In a certain city there were two men, one rich, the other poor.

David exploded with anger against the man and said to Natan, "As ADONAI lives, the man who did this deserves to die!

Natan said to David, "You are the man. "Here is what ADONAI, the God of Isra'el says: 'I anointed you king over Isra'el. I rescued you from the power of Sha'ul.

David said to Natan, "I have sinned against ADONAI." Natan said to David, "ADONAI also has taken away your sin. You will not die.

Then Natan returned to his house. ADONAI struck the child that Uriyah's wife had borne to David, and it became very ill.

and sent through Natan the prophet to have him named Y'didyah [loved by God], for ADONAI's sake.

But Tzadok the cohen, B'nayah the son of Y'hoyada, Natan the prophet, Shim'i, Re'i and David's elite guard were not on Adoniyah's side.

but he did not summon Natan the prophet, B'nayah, the elite guard or Shlomo his brother.

Natan went to Bat-Sheva the mother of Shlomo and said, "Haven't you heard that Adoniyah the son of Haggit has become king without the knowledge of David our lord?

Right then, while she was still talking with the king, Natan the prophet entered.

They told the king, "Natan the prophet is here." After coming into the king's presence, he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground.

Natan said, "My lord king, did you say, 'Adoniyah is to be king after me; he will sit on my throne'?

King David said, "Summon Tzadok the cohen, Natan the prophet and B'nayah the son of Y'hoyada." They came before the king.

There Tzadok the cohen and Natan the prophet are to anoint him king over Isra'el. Sound the shofar and say, "Long live King Shlomo!"

So Tzadok the cohen, Natan the prophet, B'nayah the son of Y'hoyada and the K'reti and P'leti went down, had Shlomo ride on King David's mule and brought him to Gichon.

Moreover, the king sent with him Tzadok the cohen, Natan the prophet, B'nayah the son of Y'hoyada and the K'reti and P'leti; they had him ride on the king's mule;

and Tzadok the cohen and Natan the prophet anointed him king in Gichon. Then they escorted him back from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar; this is the noise you've been hearing.

'Azaryah the son of Natan, chief administrator; Zavud the son of Natan, the king's trusted counselor;

After David had been living in his palace awhile, he said to Natan the prophet, "Here, I'm living in a cedar-wood palace; but the ark for the covenant of ADONAI is kept under a tent!"

Natan said to David, "Go, do everything that is in your heart, for God is with you."

But that same night the word of God came to Natan:
