What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Therefore Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite, went and did according as the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord accepted the face of Job. 20. We say nothing concerning the interpretation of these names, because we remember that we discussed it at greater length in the beginning of this work. …
Thomas Aquinas
After they had received the hope of pardon, they fulfilled what he had commanded them, and so the text goes on, "Eliphaz the Temanite, Baldath of Shuhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord had told them." So they were made worthy through their obedience and humility and Job's prayer for them was heard. Therefore the text next says, "and the Lord supported the person of Job," in what he prayed for his friends.
