ARIOCH

(Heb. ʾaryōḵ)

1. King of Ellasar (Gen. 14:1, 9), who together with Amraphel, Chedorlaomer, and Tidal fought five other kings in the valley of Siddim. Arioch is perhaps identical with Arriwuk, a son of Zimrilim and contemporary of Hammurabi, known from the Mari archives, or the Ariukki of the Nuzi documents.

2. Captain of Nebuchadnezzar’s bodyguards (Dan. 2:14-15, 24-25), commissioned by the king to execute all wise men in Babylon since they could not interpret Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.

3. King of the Chaldeans (Jdt. 1:6), otherwise unidentified. The Greek text here is corrupt.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
