Ezra 8:3, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Ezra is listing the families who returned with him from Babylon to Jerusalem under King Artaxerxes, and this verse names Hattush, a descendant of David through Shecaniah, alongside Zechariah of the family of Parosh with his 150 men. The mention of David's line matters because it keeps the royal line visible among the returning exiles, a small sign that God had not abandoned His promises to David.
