ARIEL (Person)

1. Person or thing overcome in a heroic deed by Benaiah, chief of David’s bodyguard (2 Sm 23:20; 1 Chr 11:22). It is not clear that the Hebrew word ariel is a proper name in these passages. Benaiah may have killed two “lionlike men” of Moab (KJB) or destroyed two Moabite altar hearths.

2. One of the men sent by Ezra to ask Iddo for Levitical priests to accompany the Jewish exiles returning to Jerusalem from Babylon (Ezr 8:16).
