Amariah
The name "Amariah" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "Yahweh has promised" or "Yahweh speaks." This name reflects a deep connection to the covenantal promises of God, which are central to the Jewish faith. In the context of Nehemiah, Amariah represents the continuity of the priestly line and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people. Historically, Amariah is a common name among priests, indicating the importance of maintaining a lineage dedicated to serving God. This highlights the faithfulness of God in preserving His people and their leaders throughout generations.

Malluch
The name "Malluch" is derived from the Hebrew root meaning "counselor" or "king." This suggests a role of leadership or guidance within the community. In the context of Nehemiah, Malluch's inclusion in the list of priests underscores the importance of wise and godly leadership in the restoration of Jerusalem. The historical setting of Nehemiah is one of rebuilding and renewal, and leaders like Malluch were crucial in guiding the people according to God's laws and purposes. This reflects the biblical principle that God raises up leaders to shepherd His people and lead them in righteousness.

Hattush
The name "Hattush" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "assembled" or "gathered." This name is significant in the context of Nehemiah, as it reflects the gathering of the exiles back to Jerusalem and the re-establishment of the community. Hattush represents the collective effort of the people to restore their city and their faith. The historical context of Nehemiah is one of return and rebuilding after the Babylonian exile, and names like Hattush symbolize the hope and determination of the Jewish people to reassemble and renew their covenant with God. This serves as an inspiration for believers today to come together in unity and purpose to fulfill God's plans.

Verse 2. - Malluch is rolled "Melicu" below, in ver. 14; but the reading of "Malluch" is confirmed by Nehemiah 10:4. Hattush. It is curious that Hattush is omitted from the third list (infra, vers. 12-21). He appears, however, in the first (Nehemiah 10:4), as well as here.
