Hezion may refer to two kings of Aram Damascus. ==10th–9th century BCE==

According to the genealogy given in the Books of Kings (), Hezion was a king of Aram Damascus, where Ben-Hadad I is said to be the "son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus." The passage in 1 Kings refers to King Asa of Judah, who is dated by several scholars to not later than 866 BCE. In the 19th century many scholars equated him with Rezon the Syrian, an enemy of Solomon.
