Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

17:1 Nathan the prophet. This is the first reference to Nathan in I Chronicles. Note that this chapter is essentially identical to II Samuel 7. Evidently the Chronicler appropriated it from the earlier account for his own more exclusively Judaistic record. It is possible that both obtained it from the no-longer-extant “book of Nathan the prophet” (I Chronicles 29:29).
