Difference between revisions of "Hattush"

<p> '''1.''' &nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:22. Lord A. Hervey identifies [[Shemaiah]] with Shimei, Zerubbabel's brother. Thus [[Hattush]] would be Zerubbabel's nephew. An Hattush "of the sons of David" (&nbsp;Ezra 8:2). An Hattush in &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:2. The one and the same Hattush may be meant in all the passages. But the same name in the same family may be repeated in different generations; the Hattush in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:22 seems distinct from the Hattush of &nbsp;Ezra 8:2; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:2. </p> <p> '''2.''' &nbsp;Nehemiah 3:10. </p>

<p> <strong> HATTUSH. 1. </strong> A priestly family that went up with [[Zerubbabel]] (&nbsp; Nehemiah 12:2 ) and signed the covenant (&nbsp; Nehemiah 10:4 ). <strong> 2. </strong> A descendant of David, who returned with Ezra from [[Babylon]] (&nbsp; Ezra 8:2 [read with 1Es 8:29 ‘of the sons of David, Hattush the son of Shecaniah’]); see also &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 3:22 (but if we accept the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] reading here, a younger Hattush must be meant). In 1 Es. the name is <strong> [[Attus]] </strong> . <strong> 3. </strong> A builder at the wall of [[Jerusalem]] (&nbsp; Nehemiah 3:10 ). </p>

<p> (Heb. Chattush', חִטּוּשׁ, prob. [[Assembled]] [Furst, ''Contender];'' Sept. Ἀττούς, but Χεττούς in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:22, and v.r. Λαττούς in &nbsp;Ezra 8:2), the name of several men about or after the time of the return from Babylon. </p> <p> '''1.''' A priest who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:2). B.C. 536. </p> <p> '''2.''' A descendant of David who accompanied Ezra to Jerusalem (&nbsp;Ezra 8:2). B.C. 459. See No. 5. </p> <p> '''3.''' Son of Hashabniah, and one of those who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem (&nbsp;Nehemiah 3:10). B.C. 446. He was possibly the same with No. 2. </p> <p> '''4.''' One of the priests who united in the sacred covenant with Nehemiah (&nbsp;Nehemiah 10:4). B.C. cir. 410. </p> <p> '''5.''' One of the sons of Shemaiah, among the posterity of Zerubbabel (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:22), and contemporary with the [[Nagge]] of &nbsp;Luke 3:25 (see Strong's Harm. and Expos. of the Gospels, p. 17). B.C. somewhat post 406. By some he is identified with No. 2 above, reading &nbsp;Ezra 8:2 (after the (Sept.) thus: "of the sons of David; Hattush of the sons of Shechaniah." This, however, is not only forbidden by other chronological notices, (See [[Darius]]); (See Zerubbabel), but rests on the too slender support for the genuineness of the text itself in question; where, as in &nbsp;Ezra 8:5, we may suppose that a name is missing, or that the name Shechaniah itself has crept in from the latter verse, since it appears nowhere else as that of a family head. (See [[Shechaniah]]). </p>
