22. Chesed ] Presumably, not to be confounded with the ancestor of the S. Babylonian people, the Chasdim, or “Chaldees,” mentioned in Gen 11:31 (P). More probably, the Bedouin tribe, mentioned in 2Ki 24:2, Job 1:17, as “the Chaldeans,” quite distinct from the Chesed of Arpachshad (Gen 10:22).

And Chesed,…. From whom it is generally thought sprung the Chaldees, who are commonly called Chasdim; but mention is made of the Chaldees before this man was born, unless they are called so by anticipation; [See comments on Ge 10:22]:
and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel; of these men and their posterity we hear no more, excepting: the last, for whose sake the rest are mentioned. Hazo or Chazo settled in Elymais, a country belonging to Persia, where is now a city called Chuz after his name, and from whence the whole country is called Chuzistan; and the inhabitants of it are by the Assyrians called Huzoye or Huzaeans r; the same which Strabo s makes mention of under the name of Cossaeans, who are described as a warlike people, inhabiting a barren and mountainous country, and given to spoil and robbery; and are mentioned by him along with Elymaeans, Medes, and Persians. Some Arabic writers say the Persians are from Pars, the son of Pahla; and Dr. Hyde t queries whether Pahla is not the same with Paldas, that is, Pildash, another of the sons of Nahor.

(22) Chesed.He was not the ancestor of the ancient Chasdim or Chaldees, but possibly of the small tribe of robbers with the same name who plundered Job (Job. 1:17). Of the rest, no trace remains in history.
