Easton's Bible Dictionary -
Pekod
Probably a place in Babylonia (Jeremiah 50:21 ; Ezekiel 23:23 ). It is the opinion, however, of some that this word signifies "visitation," "punishment," and allegorically "designates Babylon as the city which was to be destroyed."
Hitchcock's Bible Names -
Pekod

Fausset's Bible Dictionary -
Pekod
("visitation".) Jeremiah 50:21. Symbolical name for Babylon as doomed to be visited with judgment. In Ezekiel 23:23 simply a prefecture. Maurer translated, as descriptive epithets subjoined to "all the Chaldaeans," Ρekod (pakid ), Shoa , Κoa , "prefects, rich, princely." Otherwise, if a symbolical name here also, Pekod is "inflicter of," "visiting with, judgment," namely, upon Judah, "Aholibah."

Sargon II (722-705 B.C.) incorporated Pekod into the Assyrian Empire. Pekod formed part of the Babylonian Empire in the time of Jeremiah and Ezekiel.
