Hattil, head of a family among Solomon's servants who returned from exile
Hattil was the ancestral head of a family listed among 'the children of Solomon's servants' who returned from Babylonian exile. The name appears in both the Ezra 2 and Nehemiah 7 lists of returning exiles, specifically among those families descended from royal servants. The designation 'Solomon's servants' likely refers to temple functionaries or administrative personnel associated with the temple complex rather than literal servants of Solomon himself.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A masculine proper name appearing in post-exilic genealogical lists. Ezra 2:57 and Nehemiah 7:59 both record 'the sons of Hattil' among the descendants of Solomon's servants. The Septuagint shows significant variation (Αττεια, Αττιλ, Εγηλ, Εττηλ), suggesting uncertainty about pronunciation, but the Hebrew consonantal text remains consistent. Modern languages render it as Hattil, Hatil, Chattil, or Jatil depending on convention. 2×
