Bible | 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." We may regard this word as a personification of the idea of destruction, or as sheol, the realm of the dead. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Abaddon is a Hebrew word meaning destruction.
In poetry it comes to mean place of destruction, and so the underworld or Sheol (cf. Job xxvi. 6; Prov. xv. 11). In Rev. ix. 11 Abaddon ((Abaddon) is used of hell personified, the prince of the underworld. The term is here explained as Apollyon (q.v.), the destroyer. , W. Baudissin (Herzog-Hauck, Realencyklo padie) notes that Hades and Abaddon in Rabbinic writings are employed as personal names, just as shemayya in Dan. iv. 23, shamayim (heaven), and makom (place) among the Rabbins, are used of God.
From Gutenberg Encyclopedia (1911)
In demonology he is considered the master of certain goblins and, according to Francis Barrett, the prince of wars and evilness against goodness.
