According to Jackson's, Dictionary of Scripture and Proper Names (pg. 8), the name Amraphel means: "a sayer of darkness." This dark sayer is going to be joined in battle by a king named Arioch, whose name means "lion-like" (pg. 10). Considering the 1 Chronicles 11:22 Scripture we just looked at above, I have to wonder if Arioch is a predecessor to and an ancient king of the "lionlike men" of Moab! Could be. At any rate, Amraphel and Arioch are joined by another named Chedorlaomer, whose name means, "binding for a sheaf" (pg. 22) and Tidal whose name means, "you shall be cast out from above" (pg. 93). Clearly, this is a motley crew of very dark (Nephilim?) characters. And as we will see in Mose's account of The Genesis 14 War, Nimrod and his evil gang were victorious over the offspring of other giants!
