From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [1]

( Ε᾿Ζεκίας ), a mode of Anglicizing, in the Apocrypha, the name of two men.

1. The "son of Theocanus," and one of the two Israelitish leaders prominent in the reform under Ezra ( 1 Esdras 9:14); evidently the JAHAZIAH (See Jahaziah) (q.v.) of the Heb. text ( Ezra 10:15).

2. One who is represented as having prayed for the chosen people in the time of Sennacherib ( 2 Esdras 7:40), obviously referring to king HEZEKIAH (See Hezekiah) (q.v.)
