From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The land of Merathaim -of double rebellion. Like Mitsraim, i. e., the two Egypts, Aram-Naharaim, i. e., Syria of the two rivers, or Mesopotamia, it is a dual. It may have been a real name; or - the dual ending being intensive - it may mean the land of very great rebelliousness. Pekod -Possibly a Babylonian town. Waste -Rather, slay,Jeremiah 50:27.
