From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hakkoz       the thorn, the head of one of the courses of the priests (1 Chr.       24:10).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hezekiah       whom Jehovah has strengthened. (1.) Son of Ahaz (2 Kings 18:1; 2       Chr. 29:1), whom he succeeded on the throne of the kingdom of       Judah. He reigned twenty-nine years (B.C. 726-697). The history       of this king is contained in 2 Kings 18:20, Isa. 36-39, and 2       Chr. 29-32. He is spoken of as a great and good king. In public       life he followed the example of his great-granfather Uzziah. He       set himself to abolish idolatry from his kingdom, and among       other things which he did for this end, he destroyed the "brazen       serpent," which had been removed to Jerusalem, and had become an       object of idolatrous worship (Num. 21:9). A great reformation       was wrought in the kingdom of Judah in his day (2 Kings 18:4; 2       Chr. 29:3-36).                On the death of Sargon and the accession of his son       Sennacherib to the throne of Assyria, Hezekiah refused to pay       the tribute which his father had paid, and "rebelled against the       king of Assyria, and served him not," but entered into a league       with Egypt (Isa. 30; 31; 36:6-9). This led to the invasion of       Judah by Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:13-16), who took forty cities,       and besieged Jerusalem with mounds. Hezekiah yielded to the       demands of the Assyrian king, and agreed to pay him three       hundred talents of silver and thirty of gold (18:14).                But Sennacherib dealt treacherously with Hezekiah (Isa. 33:1),       and a second time within two years invaded his kingdom (2 Kings       18:17; 2 Chr. 32:9; Isa. 36). This invasion issued in the       destruction of Sennacherib's army. Hezekiah prayed to God, and       "that night the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the       camp of the Assyrians 185,000 men." Sennacherib fled with the       shattered remnant of his forces to Nineveh, where, seventeen       years after, he was assassinated by his sons Adrammelech and       Sharezer (2 Kings 19:37). (See {SENNACHERIB}.)                The narrative of Hezekiah's sickness and miraculous recovery       is found in 2 Kings 20:1, 2 Chr. 32:24, Isa. 38:1. Various       ambassadors came to congratulate him on his recovery, and among       them Merodach-baladan, the viceroy of Babylon (2 Chr. 32:23; 2       Kings 20:12). He closed his days in peace and prosperity, and       was succeeded by his son Manasseh. He was buried in the       "chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David" (2 Chr.       32:27-33). He had "after him none like him among all the kings       of Judah, nor any that were before him" (2 Kings 18:5). (See {ISAIAH}.)
