huk?ok (חקּק, ḥuḳḳōḳ): A town on the border of Naphtali named with Aznoth-tabor (Jos_19:34). It is usually identified with the village of yāḳūḳ, which stands on the West of Wādy el-‛Amūd, to the Northwest of Gennesaret, about 4 miles from the sea. This would fall on the boundary of Zebulun and Naphtali, between Tabor and Hannathon (Jos_19:14). The identification may be correct; but it seems too far from Tabor.

Hukkok
(Hebrew Chukkok', חֻקֹּק, incised; Sept. Ι᾿κώκ 5. r. Ι᾿ακανά,Vulg. Hucusa), a town on the border of Naphtali, near Zebulon, not far from Jordan, west of Aznoth-Tabor, and in the direction of Asher (Jos_19:34); elsewhere written HUKOK (חוּקֹק, Chukok', 1Ch_6:75; Sept. Ι᾿ακάκ,.Vulg. Hucac); but probably, in this latter passage, erroneously for HELKATH (Jos_21:35; comp. Jos_19:25). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Icoc), as well as Benj. of Tudela (2, 421), allude to it. It is doubtless identical with the modern small village Yakuk, between the plain of Genesareth and Safed (Robinson's Researches, 3 App. p. 133; Biblioth. Sac. 1843, p. 80), said to contain the grave of Habakkuk (see new edit. of Researches, 3, 81; and comp. Schwarz, Palestine, p. 182).
