        <p> <strong> ARIOCH </strong> . <strong> 1 </strong> . The king of [[Ellasar]] ( [[Genesis]] 14:1 ). It has been suggested by Schrader that [[Arioch]] is the transcription of Eri-a-ku, the Sumerian writing of the name Rim-Sin of the king of Larsa, son of Kudur-Mabug, an Elamite, who ruled Southern [[Babylonia]] till conquered by Hammurabi. See Chedorlaomer. <strong> 2 </strong> . The captain of the king’s guard in the time of [[Nebuchadrezzar]] ( Daniel 2:14 ). <strong> 3 </strong> . King of the Elymæans ( Jdt 1:6 ). </p> <p> C. H. W.

        <p> 1. King ofEllasar in the East. [[Genesis]] 14:1,9 . </p> <p> 2. [[Captain]] of Nebuchadnezzar's guard. Daniel 2:14,15,24,25 . </p>

        <p> A'rioch. (venerable). </p> <p> 1. The king of Eliasar, one of the allies of [[Chedorlaomer]] in his expedition against his rebellious tributaries. [[Genesis]] 14:1. (B.C. 1921-1912). </p> <p> 2. The captain of Nebuchadnezzar's body-guard. Daniel 2:14, etc. </p> <p> 3. Properly Eirioch, or Erioch, mentioned in [[Judith]] 1:6 as king of the Elymaeans. </p>

        <p> '''''ar´i''''' -'''''ok''''' : ( אריוך , <i> ''''''aryōkh''''' </i> ): </p> <p> (1) The name of the vassal king of Ellasar, under Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Amraphel, king of [[Shinar]] (Babylonia), who took part in the expedition against Sodom, [[Gomorrah]] and other states ( [[Genesis]] 14:1 , Genesis 14:9 ). Assyriologists generally, and probably rightly, identify [[Arioch]] with Êri-Aku (which see), king of Larsa, [[Ellasar]] being for Al-Larsa (now <i> '''''Sinqāra''''' </i> in central Babylonia). </p> <h4> Texts Referring to the [[Reign]] of Arioch </h4> <p> For an account of the expedition see [[Amraphel]] , and for the [[Babylonian]] texts bearing upon the reign, see [[Eri-Aku]] . In Genesis 14:1 , Genesis 14:9 , where the names of the allied kings who marched against the [[Cities]] of the [[Plain]] are given, that of Arioch follows his more immediate suzerain, Amraphel, and not Chedorlaomer, who, however, appears to have been the real overlord ( Genesis 14:4 ), which agrees with the indications of the Bah records. No details of the expedition are available from Babylonian sources. Besides Larsa, Êri-Aku's inscriptions inform us that Ur ( <i> '''''Muqayyar''''' </i> , <i> '''''Mugheir''''' </i> ) was in the principality of which Larsa was the capital. </p> <p> (2) The Arioch of Daniel 2:14 , Daniel 2:25 was captain of the bodyguard of King Nebuchadnezzar. Nothing else is known about him except that it was he who was commanded to slay the "wise men" who failed to repeat to the king his dream and its interpretation; and who communicated to his royal master that Daniel had undertaken the task. </p>

        <p> (Heb. Arsyok', אִרְיוֹךְ, from the Sanscrit Arjaka, venerable, or perhaps from the Heb. אֲרִי, a lion; Sept. Ἀριώχ [v. r. in Daniel Ἀριώχης, in Tob. Εἰριώχ ], [[Josephus]] Ἀρίουχος, Ant. 1, 9, 1; Ἀρίουχος , Ant. 10:10, 2), the name of two men and one place. </p> <p> 1. A king of Ellasar, confederate with [[Chedorlaomer]] against [[Sodom]] and [[Gomorrah]] ( [[Genesis]] 14:1; Genesis 14:9), B.C. cir. 2080 (Jour. Sac. Lit. Jan. 1862). (See [[Lot]]). </p> <p> 2. The captain of the royal guard at the court of Babylon, into whose charge Daniel and his fellow youths were committed ( Daniel 2:14). B.C. 604. </p> <p> 3. A "plain" of the [[Elymaeans]] (? Persians), mentioned in the apocryphal book of [[Judith]] (1, 6) as furnishing aid to [[Arphaxad]] in his contest with Nebuchadnezzar; supposed by [[Grotius]] to mean the Oracana ( Ο᾿ράκανα ) of [[Ptolemy]] (6, 2, 11), but more probably borrowed from the first of the above names (see Fritzsche, Handb. in loc.). </p>
