Shoa

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Opulent, the mountain district lying to the north-east of Babylonia, anciently the land of the Guti, or Kuti, the modern Kurdistan. The plain lying between these mountains and the Tigris was called su-Edina, i.e., “the border of the plain.” This name was sometimes shortened into Suti and Su, and has been regarded as = Shoa (Ezek 23:23). Some think it denotes a place in Babylon.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

sho'-a (shoa`; Soue): A people named in Ezek 23:23 in association with Babylonians, Chaldeans and Assyrians. Schrader identifies with the Sutu of the inscriptions (East of the Tigris).
