Context of Revelation 9:12
10And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11And they had a king over them, who is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon, but in the Greek language he hath his name Apollyon. One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more after this. 13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-12The fifth trumpet is the first of the three terrors (Revelation 8:13). It brings a judgment of locusts from the bottomless pit, a place of horror.
