Alphabetics on 11, 111, 111

By Dean Mansfield. To this I add Sterling's Alphabetics from Strong's

1. Hebrew Listings:
   
        a)  11  ABADDON--a perishing; destruction
   [Revelation 9:11 mentions Abaddon.]
   
        b)  111  ADAD (or HADAD)--an Edomite king (means "Mighty," originally the indigenous appellation of the sun among the Syrians & transferred to the king as the highest earthly authority.  It was a title [like Pharaoh] for the king of Syria.)
   
        c)  1111  BALAK--Name of the king of the Moabites who wanted Balaam to curse Israel.  It comes from "balaq" (1110), meaning "to annihilate; make waste."
2. Greek Listings:
   
        a)  11  ABRAAM--The Patriarch Abraham.
        b)  111  ATHEMITOS--Illegal; flagitious; abominable, unlawful thing.

     a)  First listing in SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY for page 111:
   
       CHALDEA (Ancient Babylon--Present day Iraq)
   
     b)  First listing in SMITH's for page 11:
   
       ABEZ--a place in Palestine.  It is listed in Strong's Hebrew as #77 (Flight 77 ??!) and comes from a root meaning "to gleam; conspicuous."  Its Hebrew Gematria (ALEF,BET,TSADE) 1+2+90 =
       1 + 92 = 1 + 11 = 111.
