Abaddon

Destruction, the Hebrew name (equivalent to the Greek Apollyon, "i.e., destroyer) of "the angel of the bottomless pit" (Rev." "9:11). It is rendered "destruction" in Job 28:22; 31:12; 26:6;" Prov. 15:11; 27:20. In the last three of these passages the "Revised Version retains the word "Abaddon."
