Chalcol

Chal'col (Hebrews Kalcol´, כִּלכֹּל, perhaps sustenance; Sept. Χαλχάλ v. r. Χαλκάδ, Josephus Χαλκέος, Ant. 8:2, 5), one of the four sons of Mahol, who were famous for their wisdom before the time of Solomon (1Ki 4:31). B.C. ante 1010. In 1Ch 2:6 (where the name is Anglicized "Calcol") he and his brothers are enumerated as the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, perhaps by an error for the name Hamul preceding, which may be a transposition for Mahol.
