Hattush; a post-exilic name borne by a Davidic descendant, a wall-builder, and a priestly leader
A proper name appearing in post-exilic genealogical and administrative records, Hattush is associated with at least two or three distinct individuals. One belongs to the Davidic royal line (1 Chr 3:22; Ezra 8:2), another helped rebuild Jerusalem's wall under Nehemiah (Neh 3:10), and a third was head of a priestly family (Neh 10:4; 12:2). The Septuagint renders the name variously as Chattous and Attous, and the Nabatean parallel Chatishu suggests broader Semitic usage.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A post-exilic proper name borne by multiple individuals: a descendant of David (1 Chr 3:22; Ezra 8:2), a builder of Jerusalem's wall (Neh 3:10), and a priestly house leader (Neh 10:4; 12:2). Spanish renders it 'Hatush/Jatus,' reflecting variant transliteration traditions. The LXX forms Chattous and Attous suggest the initial guttural was weakening in Greek pronunciation. 5×
