Dict: smith - APOLLYON

APOLLYON - A>@ - or, as it is literally in the margin of the Authorized Version of kjv@Revelation:9:11) "a destroyer," is the rendering of the Hebrew word ABADDON, "the angel of the bottomless pit." From the occurrence of the word in kjv@Psalms:88:11) the rabbins have made Abaddon the nethermost of the two regions into which they divide the lower world; but that in kjv@Revelation:9:11) Abaddon is the angel and not the abyss is perfectly evident in the Greek.
