Ezekiel lists it once among Tyre's trading partners, next to Sheba and Asshur. Some put it near Assyria. Others read the Hebrew as a phrase, not a place at all, and no location has been settled.

Chilmad appears once, among the trading partners of Tyre listed in Ezekiel's lament over the city's commercial empire, grouped with Sheba and Asshur (Ezekiel 27:23). Its identity is uncertain; some read it as a place near Assyria, while others take it not as a place name at all but as a Hebrew phrase meaning something like "as a pupil," referring to Tyre's trading apprenticeship. No location has been established with confidence.
