Kelaiah:

voice of the Lord; gathering together

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Kelaiah:

ke-la'-ya, ke-li'-a (qelayah, "swift for Yah"[?]; Kolios; Codex Vaticanus, Konos): One of the priests who had "foreign wives" (Ezr 10:23, also "Kelita"). In parallel list of 1 Esdras 9:23, he again has a double name-"Colius" and "Calitas." A "Kelita" is named as helping Ezra at the expounding of the law (Ne 8:7; compare #/RAPC 1Es 9:48, "Calitas"), and also among the signatories of the covenant (Ne 10:9; for nature of covenant see Ne 10:28 ). They may not, however, be the same person.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Kelaiah:

(swift messenger of Jehovah.) Same as KELITA (Ezra 10:23). SEE [KELITA].
