   The supplied morphology consistently marks the form as a proper noun. In 2 Samuel 12:7 the APB renders Nathan addressing David with the declaration, "You are the man," while 1 Kings 1:45 places Nathan the prophet alongside Zadok in anointing Solomon. The same name occurs for people outside those prophetic scenes: 1 Chronicles 2:36 gives a genealogy in which Nathan begets Zabad, 2 Samuel 23:36 names Igal as Nathan's son, and Zechariah 12:12 refers to the "house of Nathan."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the proper name as "Nathan," often adding "the prophet" where that wording occurs in the verse. In the supplied text for Psalm 51:2, the name is not visible in the APB verse wording, so its specific contribution cannot be isolated there from the translation.
