Hattush

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

1.  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" ( Ezra 8:2). An Hattush in  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  1 Chronicles 3:22 seems distinct from the Hattush of  Ezra 8:2;  Nehemiah 12:2.

2.  Nehemiah 3:10.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

HATTUSH. 1. A priestly family that went up with Zerubbabel (  Nehemiah 12:2 ) and signed the covenant (  Nehemiah 10:4 ). 2. A descendant of David, who returned with Ezra from Babylon (  Ezra 8:2 [read with 1Es 8:29 ‘of the sons of David, Hattush the son of Shecaniah’]); see also   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 Attus . 3. A builder at the wall of Jerusalem (  Nehemiah 3:10 ).

(Heb. Chattush', חִטּוּשׁ , prob. Assembled [Furst, Contender]; Sept. Ἀττούς , but Χεττούς in  1 Chronicles 3:22, and v.r. Λαττούς in  Ezra 8:2), the name of several men about or after the time of the return from Babylon.

1. A priest who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel ( Nehemiah 12:2). B.C. 536.

2. A descendant of David who accompanied Ezra to Jerusalem ( Ezra 8:2). B.C. 459. See No. 5.

3. Son of Hashabniah, and one of those who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem ( Nehemiah 3:10). B.C. 446. He was possibly the same with No. 2.

4. One of the priests who united in the sacred covenant with Nehemiah ( Nehemiah 10:4). B.C. cir. 410.

5. One of the sons of Shemaiah, among the posterity of Zerubbabel ( 1 Chronicles 3:22), and contemporary with the Nagge of  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  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  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).

hat´ush ( חטּוּשׁ , ḥaṭṭūsh ):

(1) Son of Shemaiah, a descendant of the kings of Judah, in the 5th generation from Zerubbabel ( 1 Chronicles 3:22 ). He returned with Zerubbabel and Ezra from Babylon to Jerusalem ( Ezra 8:2;  Nehemiah 12:2 ). (There is some doubt as to whether the Hatrush of the lineage of David and the priest of the same name, mentioned in  Nehemiah 10:4 and   Nehemiah 12:2 , are one and the same.) He was one of those who signed the covenant with Nehemiah ( Nehemiah 10:4 ).

(2) Son of Hashabneiah; aided Nehemiah to repair the walls of Jerusalem ( Nehemiah 3:10 ).
