 Tirhakah
    the last king of Egypt of the Ethiopian (the fifteenth) dynasty.
    He was the brother-in-law of So (q.v.). He probably ascended the
    throne about B.C. 692, having been previously king of Ethiopia
    (2 Kings 19:9; Isa. 37:9), which with Egypt now formed one
    nation. He was a great warrior, and but little is known of him.
    The Assyrian armies under Esarhaddon, and again under
    Assur-bani-pal, invaded Egypt and defeated Tirhakah, who
    afterwards retired into Ethiopia, where he died, after reigning
    twenty-six years.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)

 Tirhakah, inquirer; examiner; dull observer
