Definitions for Revelation 9:18
Clarke's Revelation 9:18 Bible Commentary
By these three was the third part of men killed - That is, By these was great carnage made.
Barnes's Revelation 9:18 Bible Commentary
By these three - Three things - explained immediately as referring to the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone.
Was the third part of men killed - See the notes on Revelation 8:7-12, on each of which verses we have notices of calamities that came upon the third part of the race, of the sea, of rivers, etc. We are not to suppose that this is to be taken literally, but the description is given as it appeared to John. Those immense numbers of horsemen would sweep over the world, and a full third part of the race of people would seem to fall before them.
Wesley's Revelation 9:18 Bible Commentary
9:18 By these three — Which were inseparably joined.
Were the third part of men — In the countries they over-ran.
Killed — Omar alone, in eleven years and a half, took thirty-six thousand cities or forts. How many men must be killed therein!
