<p> ''''' zat´ū́ ''''' ( זתּוּא , <i> ''''' zattū' ''''' </i> , meaning unknown): Head of a large family that returned with [[Zerubbabel]] to [[Jerusalem]] from [[Babylon]] (&nbsp; Ezra 2:8; &nbsp;Ezra 10:27; &nbsp;Nehemiah 7:13; &nbsp;Nehemiah 10:14 (15)). According to &nbsp; Ezra 10:27 , some of his sons had married foreign wives, and Zattu is named in &nbsp;Nehemiah 10:14 as one of the chiefs who signed Nehemiah's covenant. [[Septuagint]] A also adds the name before that of [[Shecaniah]] in &nbsp; Ezra 8:5 , and so we should read, "And of the sons of Zattu, Shecaniah ..."; so 1 [[Esdras]] 8:32 has Ζαθοής , <i> ''''' Zathoḗs ''''' </i> . the King James Version has "Zatthu" in Neb 10:14. </p>

<p> (Heb. Zattu', '''''זִתּוּא''''' '', Pleasant;'' Sept. '''''Ζαθουιά''''' v.r. '''''Ζαθθουά''''' , '''''Ζατθουά''''' , etc.; Vulg. ''Zethua, Zethu'' ) '','' an [[Israelite]] whose "sons" to the number of 945 (or 845) returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2, 8; &nbsp;Nehemiah 7:13); and another company of them returned with Ezra, although his name has accidentally dropped out of the text in &nbsp;Ezra 8:5, as we learn from the Sept and the Apocryphal parallel (&nbsp;1 Esdras 8:32), which both read "of the sons of Zathoe, Zechenias son of [[Aziel]] [orJezelus]" (Keil, Comment. ad loc.). B.C. ante 536. Several of these descendants renounced their [[Gentile]] wives (&nbsp;Ezra 10:27). </p>
