CALE, or Chale, or Calah, or Chalach, a City of Assyria, built by Asher or NimrodGen. x. 11, 12.; for some suppose the Text of Scripture, wherein the Foundation of this City is mentioned, to be ambiguous. But whoever founded it, it is certain that it was at a great distance from Nineveh; and that the City of Resen lay between Cale and Nineveh. Chale is perhaps the Capital of the Chalacene Province, near the Springs of the River Lycus; or Chala may be the Capital of the Chalenitis, which is separated by mount Zagrus from Media1.
