Hezion is mentioned in 1 Kings 15:18 as the grandfather of Ben-Hadad, the king of Aram (Syria) during the reign of King Asa of Judah. The verse states that there was a treaty between Asa's father and Hezion, which Asa sought to renew with Ben-Hadad. His mention in this context suggests that he was a significant figure in the history of Aram, likely a former king or ruler, who had established a treaty with the kingdom of Judah.
