(hee' zih ahn) Personal name meaning, “vision.” Grandfather of King Ben-hadad of Damascus (1 Kings 15:18 ). His relationship to Rezon, founder of the Damascus dynasty, is not certain. Some think Hezion is a scribal change from Rezon in Hebrew. Others think both names have been changed from an original Hezron or Hazael. A more probable opinion is that Hezion is a personal name, while Rezon is a Syrian royal title or throne name. See Rezon .
