REELAIAH [ISBE]

REELAIAH - re-el-a'-ya, re-el-i'-a (re`elyah): One of the 12 chiefs who returned with Zerubbabel (Ezr 2:2 parallel Neh 7:7). In the passage in Neh the name is Raamiah" (ra`amyah), and in 1 Esdras 5:8 "Resaias." Which is the original, it is almost impossible to decide; "Reelaiah" seems preferable.
