Tir'hakah or Tirha'kah. (exalted?). King of Ethiopia (Cush), the opponent of Sennacherib. 2 Kings 19:9; Isaiah 37:9. He may be identified with Tarkos, or Tarakos, who was the third and last king, of the twenty-fifth dynasty, which was of Ethiopians. His accession was probably about B.C. 695. Possibly Tirhakah ruled over Ethiopia, before becoming king of Egypt.
