Book of Nathan the Prophet explained

The Book of Nathan the Prophet and the History of Nathan the Prophet are among the lost books quoted in the Bible, attributed to the biblical prophet Nathan. They may be the same text, but they are sometimes distinguished from one another. No such text is found anywhere in the Hebrew Bible, so it is presumed to have been lost or removed from earlier texts.

Description
