This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

They had a king over them (ἔχουσιν ἐφ' αὐτῶν βασιλέα).

Render, as Rev., they have over them as king. Compare Pro 30:27. Hence distinguished from the natural locusts.

In Hebrew (Ἑβραΐ̀στὶ)

Used only by John. Compare Joh 5:2; Joh 19:13, Joh 19:17, Joh 19:20; Rev 16:16.

Abaddon

Meaning destruction. Compare Job 26:6; Job 28:22; Pro 15:11. Here the Destroyer, as is evident from the Greek equivalent Ἁπολλύων Apollyon destroyer. Perdition is personified. It is after John's manner to give the Hebrew with the Greek equivalent. Compare Joh 1:38, Joh 1:42; Joh 4:25; Joh 9:7; Joh 11:16, etc.
