Nathan's deeds recorded in the books of Samuel and Kings are twofold. In the scene where he declares a covenant with David (2 Sam. 7) or rebukes David in relation to Bathsheba (2 Sam. 12), Nathan is portrayed as a prophet, strengthening or checking the royal authority. On the other hand, in the process of Solomon ascending the throne after David, Nathan is mentioned most often as a prophet, but there is no hint that his words and actions originated from Yahweh (1 Kings 1). The historian does not directly evaluate Nathan's words and actions, but from a macro perspective, he recorded the fact that the history after Solomon's reign led to the division and destruction of the kingdom. By recording all the light and darkness of the character Nathan, the historian did not simply state the historical fact, but tried to express his intention through the historiography. As recorded in historiography, in the gloomy reality of the fall of the nation and the rule of Babylon, historian tried to face up to the people and events of the past that made reality, and to tell what to discard and what to choose for the perpetuity of the covenant.
