Concise Bible Dictionary:

People mentioned among Israel’s “lovers,” whom God would bring against them on every side (Ezek. 23:23²³The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, 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.
