   destruction, abyss, fr. [=a]bad to be lost, to perish.]
   1. The destroyer, or angel of the bottomless pit; -- the same
      as Apollyon and Asmodeus.
      [1913 Webster]

   2. Hell; the bottomless pit. [Poetic]
      [1913 Webster]

            In all her gates, Abaddon rues
            Thy bold attempt.                     --Milton.
      [1913 Webster]

2. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Abaddon
   destruction, the Hebrew name (equivalent to the Greek Apollyon,
   i.e., destroyer) of "the angel of the bottomless pit" (Rev.
   9:11). It is rendered "destruction" in Job 28:22; 31:12; 26:6;
   Prov. 15:11; 27:20. In the last three of these passages the
   Revised Version retains the word "Abaddon." We may regard this
   word as a personification of the idea of destruction, or as
   sheol, the realm of the dead.
   

3. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
