ELLASAR . Arioch king of Ellasar was allied with Chedorlaomer in the campaign against the kings of the plain ( Genesis 14:1 ). He has been identified with Rim-sin, king of Larsa, and consequently ‘Ellasar’ is thought to be for al-Larsa , ‘the city of Larsa.’ Larsa, modern Senkereh in Lower Babylonia on the east bank of the Euphrates, was celebrated for its temple and worship of the sun-god Shamash.
