Revelation 9 is the ninth chapter of theBook of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in theNew Testament of theChristianBible. The book is traditionally attributed toJohn the Apostle,[1][2] but the precise identity of the author remains a point of academic debate.[3] In this chapter, the next twoangels' trumpets are sounded, following the sounding of the first four trumpets inchapter 8.[4] These two trumpets and the final trumpet, sounded inchapter 11, are sometimes called the "woe trumpets".[5]
And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.[15][16]
TheVulgate adds aLatin equivalent,latine habens nomen Exterminans, which theWycliffe Bible explains as "Destroyer". The latter also describes the angel as "the angel of deepness".[17]
