See CHALDEANS. Only the King James Bible has different spellings for the name of this people. The King James has CHALDEES in Isaiah 13:19 and CHALDEANS in Isaiah 48:14, 20. Neither the Hebrew text nor the Septuagint nor the Wycliffe Bible nor the Matthew Bible nor the Geneva Bible spell the names differently. The Vulgate has different forms of the names, masculine plural genitive in Isaiah 13:19 and masculine plural ablative in Isaiah 48:14 and 20.
