Hattush

Hattush appears only in short lists, yet he turns up in more than one generation of returning exiles. Ezra counts him among the family heads who came up with him. In Nehemiah he is a son of Hashabniah who repairs a piece of the Jerusalem wall, and elsewhere his name stands among the priests and the leaders who sealed the covenant. The Bible does not tell us more about him, and it is honest to say so. What it does show is a name written down beside the others who each took a small share in rebuilding and renewing the city.
