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 ).
