Jehovah Sabaoth is one of God’s names in the Bible. It occurs more than 270 times in the Old Testament. It combines God’s personal name, Jehovah (Yahweh), with the Hebrew word, Sabaoth, meaning “host” or “multitude.” So Jehovah Sabaoth means “The Lord of Hosts.” In 1 Samuel 1:3 a verse from the Bible. It describes how Elkanah, a man from Ramathaimzophim, went up out of his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD. Shiloh was the location of the temple of God, and all the males were bound by the law to go there once a year on each of the great national festivals.
