A band of them had doubtless entered the service of the Persian monarch, followed him to Palestine, and received for their reward grants of land in Samaria (Stephanus Byzant. s.v.; Ritter, Erdkunde, 7:668; Rawlinson's Herodotus, 1:338). </p> | |||

(Chald. Dehaye', דֶּהָיֵא , or Dehave' , דֶּהָוֵא , Sept. Δαναῖοι , Vulg. Dievi ), one of the Assyrian tribes from which a colony was led out by Asnapper to repopulate Samaria, and who there joined their neighbors in opposing the reconstruction of the Temple at Jerusalem ( Ezra 4:9).
