  n  :  (plural)  hosts  or  armies;  used  in  the  book  of  Romans  in  the

  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.
