History of Nathan the Prophet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The History of Nathan the Prophet is one of the lost books of the Tanakh. It may have been written by the Biblical prophet Nathan, who may have been the author of other lost texts. The book is described in 2Chronicles 9:29. The passage reads: "Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?"

This text is distinguished here from what may be the identical manuscript, The Book of Nathan the Prophet'.

The book is found nowhere in the Tanakh, so it is presumed to have been lost or removed from the earlier texts.
