From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Aquila
      eagle, a native of Pontus, by occupation a tent-maker, whom Paul
      met on his first visit to Corinth (Acts 18:2). Along with his
      wife Priscilla he had fled from Rome in consequence of a decree
      (A.D. 50) by Claudius commanding all Jews to leave the city.
      Paul sojourned with him at Corinth, and they wrought together at
      their common trade, making Cilician hair-cloth for tents. On
      Paul's departure from Corinth after eighteen months, Aquila and
      his wife accompanied him to Ephesus, where they remained, while
      he proceeded to Syria (Acts 18:18, 26). When they became
      Christians we are not informed, but in Ephesus they were (1 Cor.
      16:19) Paul's "helpers in Christ Jesus." We find them afterwards
      at Rome (Rom. 16:3), interesting themselves still in the cause
      of Christ. They are referred to some years after this as being
      at Ephesus (2 Tim. 4:19). This is the last notice we have of
      them.

      put to death by Abner, whom he pursued from the field of battle
      (2 Sam. 2:18, 19). He is mentioned among David's thirty mighty
      men (2 Sam. 23:24; 1 Chr. 11:26). Others of the same name are
      mentioned (2 Chr. 17:8; 31:13; Ezra 10:15).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Azal
      (Zech. 14:5) should perhaps be rendered "very near" = "the way

      some place near the western extremity of the valley here spoken
