• In Ezekiel 23:23, Pekod is listed among the nations and peoples that will come against Jerusalem: "the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, governors and commanders, all of them officers and men of renown, mounted on horses."
• The mention of Pekod in these prophetic texts underscores its role as a symbol of divine retribution and the broader geopolitical landscape of the ancient Near East during the time of the Babylonian empire.
