This title reassures the faithful of God's omnipotence and His ability to protect and deliver His people. In the Greco-Roman world, where the New Testament was written, the concept of divine armies would have resonated with both Jewish and Gentile audiences, highlighting God's ultimate authority over all spiritual and earthly realms.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4519</b> <i>sabaṓth</i> (the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew term, <i>bā̓āh</i>, OT 6635) – host(s), an innumerable throng (limitless company). <a href="/greek/4519.htm">4519</a> <i>/sabaṓth</i> ("the Lord of <i>hosts</i>") only occurs in Ro 9:29 and Js 4:5, and correlates to the familiar phrase, "the Lord of <i>hosts</i>" in the OT and <i>LXX</i>.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/6635.htm">tsaba</a> in fem. pl.<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Sabaoth, i.e. armies<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Sabaoth (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4519: σαβαώθ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σαβαώθ</span></span> (Hebrew <span class="hebrew">צְבָאות</span>, plural of <span class="hebrew">צָבָא</span>, an army): <span class="greek2">κύριος</span> <span class="greek2">σαβαώθ</span> (<span class="hebrew">צְבָאות</span> <span class="hebrew">יְהוָה</span>) (<span class="abbreviation">A.
