Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Chattush, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: The name Chattush appears in the context of genealogies and lists of returnees from the Babylonian exile. It is used to identify individuals in the post-exilic community of Israel.

Context: Chattush is a name that appears several times in the Old Testament, associated with different individuals:

• Chattush, the Descendant of David: In 1 Chronicles 3:22, Chattush is listed as a descendant of David, specifically as a son of Shemaiah. This places him within the royal lineage, highlighting the continuation of David's line even after the exile.

• Chattush, the Priest: In Ezra 8:2, Chattush is mentioned among the priests who returned with Ezra from Babylon to Jerusalem. This indicates his role in the religious restoration of the Jewish community during the Second Temple period.

• Chattush, the Signatory of the Covenant: In Nehemiah 10:4, Chattush is listed as one of the signatories of the covenant, a significant event where the leaders of the community pledged to follow the Law of God. This underscores his involvement in the spiritual renewal of the people.

The name Chattush, therefore, is associated with both royal and priestly lines, reflecting the multifaceted leadership roles in the post-exilic Jewish community. His presence in these lists emphasizes the importance of lineage, religious duty, and covenantal faithfulness in the restoration period.
