CHADIAS, THEY OF; CHADIASAI [isbe]
CHADIAS, THEY OF; CHADIASAI - ka'-di-as, ka'-di-a-si; (the Revised Version (British and American) Codex Alexandrinus, Chadasai; Codex Vaticanus, hoi Chadiasai): The inhabitants of the city here referred to returned with Zerubbabel, along with the Ammidioi (1
Est 5:20). The name is not found in Ezra and Nehemiah. The Chadiasai have been taken for the people of Kadesh and the Ammidioi for the people of Humtah (
Josh 15:54). Possibly the place is identical with Kedesh of
Josh 15:23.
