From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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.
