← Revelation 9:9	Revelation 9:10 (KJV)	Revelation 9:11 →
And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.	And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months.	And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.
