Description

Arioch ( or Ariok) is a Hebrew name that means "fierce lion". It originally appears in the Book of Genesis chapter 14 as the name of the "King of Ellasar", part of the confederation of kings who did battle with the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and with Abraham in the Battle of the Vale of Siddim. Earlier in the 20th century, it was common to identify him with "Eriaku" - an alternative reading of either Rim-Sin or his brother Warad-Sin, who were Elamite rulers over Larsa contemporary with Hammurabi, although this identification has come under attack from scholars in more recent years,[citation needed] and is now largely abandoned,[citation needed] in part due to Nuzu inscriptions referring to a Hurrian king named Ariukki.[citation needed] Alternatively Ellasar could have been the site referred to as Alashiya, now thought to be near Alassa in Cyprus, where there was a Late Bronze Age palace, destroyed by the Peoples of the Sea. The same name later appears in the Book of Daniel 2:24 as the person appointed by King Nebuchadnezzar to put all the wise men of Babylon to death. Arioch (Arius) was also a grandson of Semiramis in the classical Ninus legend. PLEASE SEE FULL VERSION THANKS !!!!!!
