Usage: The term "Ellasar" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a kingdom or city-state that was part of a coalition of kings during the time of Abraham. Context: Ellasar is mentioned in the context of the narrative found in Genesis 14:1, where it is listed as one of the kingdoms allied with Chedorlaomer, king of Elam. The king of Ellasar at that time was Arioch. This coalition of kings waged war against the cities of the plain, including Sodom and Gomorrah. The exact location of Ellasar is not definitively known, but it is generally considered to be in the region of Mesopotamia, possibly corresponding to the historical city of Larsa. Larsa was an important city in southern Mesopotamia, known for its significant role in the political and economic landscape of the region during the early second millennium BCE. The mention of Ellasar in Genesis highlights the geopolitical dynamics of the ancient Near East and provides a backdrop for the narrative of Abraham's rescue of Lot.
