Ezekiel 23:23
_ _ Pekod, etc. — (Jeremiah 50:21). Not a geographical name, but descriptive of Babylon. “Visitation,” peculiarly the land of “judgment”; in a double sense: actively, the inflicter of judgment on Judah; passively, as about to be afterwards herself the object of judgment.
_ _ Shoa ... Koa — “rich ... noble”; descriptive of Babylon in her prosperity, having all the world’s wealth and dignity at her disposal. Maurer suggests that, as descriptive appellatives are subjoined to the proper name, “all the Assyrians” in the second hemistich of the verse (as the verse ought to be divided at “Koa”), so Pekod, Shoa, and Koa must be appellatives descriptive of “The Babylonians and ... Chaldeans” in the first hemistich; “Pekod” meaning “prefects”; Shoa ... Koa, “rich ... princely.”
_ _ desirable young men — strong irony. Alluding to Ezekiel 23:12, these “desirable young men” whom thou didst so “dote upon” for their manly vigor of appearance, shall by that very vigor be the better able to chastise thee. |
Ezekiel 23:23
Pekod — Pekod is the province between Tigris, and Lycus; in this was old Nineveh.

Koa — This bordered upon Media, the inhabitants were called Kohai, and dwelt about Arbela. And all — All subjects of the Assyrian monarchy. |
Ezekiel 23:23
The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, (h) Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
(h) These were the names of certain princes and captains under Nebuchadnezzar. |

I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
2 Kings 20:14-17 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee?

Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
