From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sabaoth
the transliteration of the Hebrew word _tsebha'oth_, meaning
"hosts," armies" (Rom. 9:29; James 5:4). In the LXX. the Hebrew
word is rendered by "Almighty." (See Rev. 4:8; comp. Isa. 6:3.)
It may designate Jehovah as either (1) God of the armies of
earth, or (2) God of the armies of the stars, or (3) God of the
unseen armies of angels; or perhaps it may include all these
ideas.
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
Sabaoth, Lord of hosts
