Chelod
Chelod
( v. r. , Vulg. omits, old Lat. ver. Chelleuth, Syr. “Chaldaeans”). “Many nations of the sons of Chelod” were among those who obeyed the summons of Nabuchodonosor to his war with Arphaxad (Jdt 1:6). The word is apparently corrupt (see Fritzsche, Exeg. Handb. in loc.). Simonis suggests , i.e. CALNEH, perh. Ctesiphon. Ewald (Gesch. Isr. III, 2:543) conjectures it to be a nickname for the Syrians, “‘sons of the mole” (, choled).

Chelod
CHELOD.Jdt 1:6 b reads, not as AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] many nations of the sons of Chelod assembled themselves to battle, but there came together many nations unto the array (or ranks) of the sons of Cheleul. It is not certain whether the many nations are allies of Nebuchadrezzar or of Arphaxad, or whether they come to help or to fight the sons of Chelod. Probably Jdt 1:6 b summarizes v. Jdt 1:6 a; hence sons of Chelod should be Nebuchadrezzars army. But he is, in Jth., king of Assyrians, not Chaldsans. No probable conjecture as to Aram. [Note: Aramaic.] original has been made.

Chelod
kelod (, Cheleoud, , Cheleoul): In Judith 1:6 it is said that many nations of the sons of Chelod assembled themselves to the battle. They are mentioned as obeying the summons of Nebuchadnezzar to his war against Arphaxad. No very probable suggestion has been made as to the meaning of Chelod.
