About Hattush

Hattush was a descendant of King Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin) of Judah. He is mentioned in the genealogy of the royal line of Judah recorded in the book of 1 Chronicles. Hattush was one of the sons of Shemaiah, who was a descendant of Jeconiah through Pedaiah. Jeconiah was one of the last kings of Judah before the Babylonian exile, and his descendants played a role in the restoration of Jewish life after the return from exile. No other information is provided about Hattush in the Bible. (1Ch.3.22).
