Reference: Calcol

(1Ch 2:6), sustenance, the same probably as Chalcol (1Ki 4:31), one of the four sages whom Solomon excelled in wisdom; for "he was wiser than all men."

A man of Judah, descended from Zerah (1Ch 2:6). Probably identical with Chalcol or Calcol, the same in the Hebrew, one of the four wise men whom Solomon exceeded (1Ki 4:31). He and Darda or Dara are called "the sons of Mahol," i.e. of the choir; they were the famous musicians, two of whom are named in the titles of Psalm 88 and Psalm 89. However, if Mahol is a proper name, he is their immediate father, Zerah their ancestor, of the great family of Pharez of Judah.

A, Judahite, adescendant of Zerah (1Ch 2:6), otherwise described in 1Ki 4:31 (where AV has Chalcol) as a son of Mahol, famous for wisdom, but surpassed by Solomon.
