Chaldea

Chaldea or Chaldaea "the Chaldeans" of the KJV Old Testament, was a Hellenistic designation for a part of Babylonia, which became an independent kingdom under the Chaldees. It pursued military campaigns against the foreign ruling dynasties ruling southern Mesopotamia, mainly the Akkadians and the Babylonians. It became a Babylonian colony in the early days of Hammurabi, but retained special status in relation to other cities ruled by Babylon in the region. One early such reference is to the impending invasion of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar II (Habakkuk 1:6). Tribes of settlers who arrived in the region became known as the Chaldeans. Quite where they originally came from is a mystery.
