Ezekiel 23:23

Verse 23

THESE TITLED WARRIORS IN BLUE UNIFORMS SHALL TURN AGAINST HER WITH THEIR WEAPONS AND THE HORSES WHICH SHE HAD SO ADMIRED (Ezekiel 23:12; Ezekiel 23:23-24), AND ALL HER OTHER LOVERS, MAD WITH JEALOUSY AND DISGUST, SHALL JOIN WITH THEM IN MISTREATING HER, Ezekiel 23:22-26.

Pekod is very like the Pu-ku-du of the monuments (see also Jeremiah 50:21), while Shoa and Koa have been identified with the Kutu and the Sutu which are often mentioned together in the cuneiform inscriptions (Schrader, Orelli).
