Bible Person

Hattush

Meaning: forsaking sin · Male · 1 cross reference

This Hattush entry refers to the descendant of David who returns with Ezra, not to the wall-builder in Nehemiah 3 or the earlier Davidic descendant in 1 Chronicles 3. He belongs to the royal-line presence within the post-exilic return. First appears in Ezra 8:2.1

AI summary: This Hattush matters because his single cross reference brings the Davidic line into the story of return and restoration. The entry helps show that the hope carried by Judah's royal house continues to be remembered even in exile's aftermath. Taken together, the material presents this Hattush as a Davidic returnee in the restored community.1
