Kelaiah

kḗ-lā´ya, kḗ-lī´a (קליה, ḳēlāyāh, “swift for Yah”[?]; Κωλίος, Kōlīos; Codex Vaticanus, Κώνος, Kṓnos):

One of the priests who had “foreign wives” (Ezra 10:23, also “Kelita”). In parallel list of 1 Esdras 9:23, he again has a double name - “Colius” and “Calitas.” A “Kelita” is named as helping Ezra at the expounding of the law (Nehemiah 8:7; compare 1 Esdras 9:48, “Calitas”), and also among the signatories of the covenant (Nehemiah 10:9; for nature of covenant see Nehemiah 10:28 ff). They may not, however, be the same person.
