Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(destroyer). King of the
locusts
, and angel of the
bottomless
pit
. The
Greek
equivalent is
Apollyon
(
Rev. 9:11
11
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. (Revelation 9:11)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
In
Revelation 9:1
1
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Revelation 9:1)
1
This
name
is shown to be
the
same as
Apollyon
, “the destroyer,” who is described as “the
angel
of the
bottomless
pit
.” Perhaps it is not so much one of the
names
of
Satan
, as his character personified. It occurs
six
times
in the
Old
Testament
, in
three
of which it is associated
with
hell
(
sheol
) (
Job 26:6
6
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Job 26:6)
;
Prov. 15:11
11
Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? (Proverbs 15:11)
;
Prov. 27:20
20
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. (Proverbs 27:20)
); once with
death
: “
Destruction
and Death say” (
Job 28:22
22
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. (Job 28:22)
); and once with the
grave
(
Psa. 88:11
11
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? (Psalm 88:11)
). In
all
these passages, and in
Job 31:12,
12
For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. (Job 31:12)
it is translated “destruction.”
