Boyd’s Bible Dictionary

(old
age
). City of
Assyria
(
Gen. 10:11
11
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, (Genesis 10:11)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
One of
the
early cities built by
Asshur
, or, probably by
Nimrod
, if we read “out of the land he (Nimrod) went forth to
Assyria
,” as in the margin (
Gen. 10:11-12
11
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. (Genesis 10:11‑12)
). Supposed to be connected
with
some
of the ruins on the Tigris, from which so
many
monuments
and inscriptions
have
been discovered; but Calah cannot be distinguished from the
other
early cities mentioned in connection with Nimrod.
