Chellus [1]

kel´us ( Χελλούς , Chelloús ), a place named (Judith 1:9) among those West of the Jordan to which Nebuchadnezzar sent his summons. It is mentioned along with "Kades," and as it lay North of the "children of Ishmael" it may with some probability be taken as lying Southwest of Jerusalem. It has been conjectured that it may be Chalutzah (Reland, Palestine , 717), a place under the form Elusa well known to the ancient geographers.
