Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Ariel

altar; light or lion of God

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Ariel

(lion of God).

One of the "chief men" who under Ezra directed the caravan which he led back from Babylon to Jerusalem. (Ezra 8:16) (B.C. 459.) The word occurs also in reference to two Moabites slain by Benaiah. (2 Samuel 23:20; 1 Chronicles 11:22) Many regard the word as an epithet, "lion-like;" but it seems better to look upon it as a proper name, and translate "two [sons] of Ariel."
A designation given by Isaiah to the city of Jerusalem. (Isaiah 29:1,2,7) We must understand by it either "lion of God," as the chief city, or "hearth of God," a synonym for the altar of burnt offering. On the whole it seems most probable that, as a name given to Jerusalem, Ariel means "lion of God," whilst the word used by Ezekiel, (Ezekiel 43:15,16) means "hearth of God."

ATS Bible Dictionary

Ariel

The lion of God, one of Ezra's chief men, Ezra 8:16. This word is used, in 2 Samuel 24:25; 1 Chronicles 11:22, as a descriptive or perhaps a family name of two lion-like men of Moab. In another sense, Ezekiel applies it to the altar of God, Ezekiel 43:15, and Isaiah to Jerusalem, as the hearth on which both the burnt offerings and the enemies of God should be consumed, Isaiah 29:1,2,7. See also Genesis 49:9.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

The lion of God.

(1.) One of the chief men sent by Ezra to procure Levites for the sanctuary (Ezra 8:16).

(2.) A symbolic name for Jerusalem (Isaiah 29:1, 2, 7) as "victorious under God," and in Ezek. 43:15, 16, for the altar (marg., Hebrews `ariel) of burnt offerings, the secret of Israel's lion-like strength.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(n.) Alt. of Ariel gazelle.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ARIEL

a'-ri-el ('ariy'el or 'ari'el, "lioness of God"): But the word occurs in Ezekiel 43:15, 16, and is there translated in the Revised Version (British and American) "ALTAR HEARTH."

(1) According to the Revised Version (British and American) a man of Moab whose two sons were slain by David's warrior Benaiah the son of Jehoiada (2 Samuel 23:20 1 Chronicles 11:22). Here the King James Version translates "two lionlike men of Moab."

(2) A name applied to Jerusalem (Isaiah 29:1, 2, 7). The many explanations of the name are interesting, but mainly conjectural.

(3) One of the members of the delegation sent by Ezra to the place Casiphia, to secure temple ministers for his expedition to Jerusalem (Ezra 8:16).
