KELAIAH kĭ lā’ yə (קְעִלָ֔ה). A Levite who had married a foreign wife and divorced her (Ezra 10:23; 1 Esd 9:23; KJV, ASV COLIUS). He was also called “Kelita” (1 Esd 9:23; KJV, ASV CALITAS). A Kelita appears in Nehemiah 8:7; 10:10; and 1 Esdras 9:48 (KJV, ASV CALITAS), but it is not certain that the two are the same.
