ARIOCH.—1. The king of Ellasar (Gen_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. 2. The captain of the king’s guard in the time of Nebuchadrezzar (Dan_2:14). 3. King of the Elymæans (Jdt_1:6).

Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


ar?i-ok: (אריוך, 'aryōkh):
(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 (Gen_14:1, Gen_14:9). Assyriologists generally, and probably rightly, identify Arioch with ?ri-Aku (which see), king of Larsa, Ellasar being for Al-Larsa (now Sinqāra in central Babylonia).
Texts Referring to the Reign of Arioch
For an account of the expedition see AMRAPHEL, and for the Babylonian texts bearing upon the reign, see ERI-AKU. In Gen_14:1, Gen_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 (Gen_14:4), which agrees with the indications of the Bah records. No details of the expedition are available from Babylonian sources. Besides Larsa, ?ri-Aku's inscriptions inform us that Ur (Muqayyar, Mugheir) was in the principality of which Larsa was the capital.
(2) The Arioch of Dan_2:14, Dan_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.

Arioch
(Heb. Arsyok', אִרְיוֹךְ, from the Sanscrit Arjaka, venerable, or perhaps from the Heb. אֲרִי, a lion; Sept. Α᾿ριώχ [v. r. in Daniel Α᾿ριώχης, in Tob. Εἰριώχ], Josephus Α᾿ρίουχος, Ant. 1, 9, 1; Α᾿ρίουχος, Ant. 10:10, 2), the name of two men and one place.
1. A king of Ellasar, confederate with Chedorlaomer against Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen_14:1; Gen_14:9), B.C. cir. 2080 (Jour. Sac. Lit. Jan. 1862). SEE LOT.
2. The captain of the royal guard at the court of Babylon, into whose charge Daniel and his fellow youths were committed (Dan_2:14). B.C. 604.
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.).
