sabaoth - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  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.
