father of Nathan

The father of Nathan, one of the warriors in David's mighty men listed in the parallel catalogues of 2 Samuel 23:36 and 1 Chronicles 11:38, is not named in the text. The 1 Chronicles passage refers to 'Joel the brother of Nathan,' suggesting the two were brothers and possibly that their unnamed father was a man of some note. He is known only through this indirect reference in the catalogues of David's elite warriors.
