Jehovah Sabaoth in the Septuagint: kurios sabaôth - the Lord of hosts (sabaôth: Greek transliteration of Hebrew hosts)
Meaning and Derivation: Jehovah is translated as The Existing One or Lord. The chief meaning of Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word Havah meaning to be or to exist. It also suggests to become or specifically to become known - this denotes a God who reveals Himself unceasingly. Sabaoth (se bâ'ôt) means armies or hosts. Jehovah Sabaoth can be translated as The Lord of Armies (1 Samuel 1:3). This name denotes His universal sovereignty over every army, both spiritual and earthly. The Lord of Hosts is the king of all heaven and earth. (Psalm 24:9-10; Psalm 84:3; Isaiah 6:5).
Further references of the name Jehovah Sabaoth in the Old Testament: 1 Samuel 1:11; 1 Samuel 17:45; 2 Samuel 6:18; 2 Samuel 7:27; 1 Kings 19:14; 2 Kings 3:14; 1 Chronicles 11:9; Psalm 24:10; Psalm 48:8; Psalm 80:4; Psalm 80:19; Psalm 84:3; Isaiah 1:24; Isaiah 3:15; Isaiah 5:16; Isaiah 6:5; Isaiah 9:19; Isaiah 10:26; Isaiah 14:22; Jeremiah 9:15; Jeremiah 48:1; Hosea 12:5; Amos 3:13; Micah 4:4; Nahum 3:5; Haggai 2:6; Zechariah 1:3; Malachi 1:6; Habakkuk 2:13; Zephaniah 2:9.
