a.ri.el is used as the name of a man in Ezra and of a town addressed, pressed, and defended in Isaiah.

The attested use is chiefly a place-name in Isaiah, where Ariel is addressed as a town and appears as the object of pressure and attack; it also names a man among those sent for in Ezra.

1. A town under address and attack · dominant

   In Isaiah 29:1 the proper noun is repeated in an address, and the APB renders the clause “Woe, Ariel, Ariel, town where David camped!” In Isaiah 29:2 and Isaiah 29:7, Ariel is the location or object of pressing and hostile service, with the APB also referring to “her stronghold” and those who press her.
