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 Nebuchadrezzar’s army. But he is, in Jth., king of Assyrians, not Chaldsæans. No probable conjecture as to Aram. [Note: Aramaic.] original has been made.
