(23) Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa.--These words were taken as proper names by our translators, and are still considered by some as indicating small Chaldaean tribes; but it is better, with the Vulg. and most modern commentators, to understand them as the names of officers, "rulers, lords, and nobles." Shoa is translated "crying" in Isaiah 22:5, "liberal" in Isaiah 32:5, and "rich" in Job 34:19; while Pekod is rendered "visitation" in the margin of Jeremiah 50:21.
