(Heb. Yidalah', יַדנְאֲלָה , probably Exalted; Sept. Ι᾿Αδηλά ), a city near the western border of Zebulon, mentioned between Shimron and Bethlehem ( Joshua 19:15). According to Schwarz, it is called Chirii in the Talmud, and is identical with the village Kelluh Al. Chire, six English miles southwest of Shimron or Semunie (Palestine, p. 172). He doubtless refers to the niace marked on Robinson's map as Kulat El-Kireh, in the valley of the Kishon, south-west of Semunieh or imonias; a position not improbable. especially if marked by the ruins on the north side of the river. Dr. Robinson, who afterwards visited it, calls it " Jeida, a miserable village with no traces of antiquity" (Later Researches, p. 113); but Van de Velde shows that it actually has many marks, although now much obliterated, of being an off site (Memoir, p. 322).
