Hukok

Hukok was a Levitical city allotted to the Gershonite Levites within the tribe of Asher: "And out of the tribe of Asher; Mashal with her suburbs, and Abdon with her suburbs, And Hukok with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs: four cities" (1 Chronicles 6:74-75). The parallel list in Joshua 21:31 names the same four Asher cities but reads "Helkath" instead of "Hukok" — the two names probably reflect alternate scribal traditions for the same Asher Levitical settlement. The site lay in the western Galilee allotment of Asher.
