(Χωλά, v. r. Κωλά and Κειλά ), a place named only in the Apocrypha (Judith 15:4) in connection with Chobai (q.v.), as one of the cities to which Ozias sent orders to expel the enemies of the Jews after the death of Holofernes. Simonis (Onom. N.T. p. 170) suggests Abel-mecholah. Reland, however (Paloest. p. 729), thinks it may be the CULON (See CULON) (q.v.) inserted by the Sept. among the cities of Judah (Joshua 15:60).
