II Chronicles 1:16 And there were horses brought him from Egypt, and from Coa, by the king's merchants, who went, and bought at a price,

Coa may signify either some city, (Mariana) or an "emporium," where things are sold, as kuch means "a collection." (Tirinus) (3 Kings 10:28.) Neglecting the points of the Masorets, we may well understand Coa, a city of Egypt, or an island of the Mediterranean. The Masorets read Mikve, instead of Micoa. (Du Hamel)
