Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Ezekiel 27:14

“They of Beth-Togarmah traded for your wares,

With horses and warhorses and mules.”

Beth-Togarmah (Ezekiel 38:6) is connected with the Anatolian/Armenian region. It is possibly the Tegarama of old Assyrian and Hittite texts, the Til-garimmu in the annals of Sargon and Sennacherib, the capital of Kammanu on the border of Tabal.
