Hattush in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE

hat'-ush (chaTTush): (1) Son of Shemaiah, a descendant of the kings of Judah, in the 5th generation from Zerubbabel (1 Ch 3:22). He returned with Zerubbabel and Ezra from Babylon to Jerusalem (Ezr 8:2; Neh 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 Neh 10:4 and 12:2, are one and the same.) He was one of those who signed the covenant with Nehemiah (Neh 10:4). (2) Son of Hashabneiah; aided Nehemiah to repair the walls of Jerusalem (Neh 3:10). Horace J. Wolf
