Why does it say "Elokim Tzevakos"?

1.

Radak (based on Shevu'os 35b #1): The Nismach (word that is Samuch to Tzevakos) is omitted. Tzevakos is not an adjective. We find that it is Samuch - Hashem Tzevakos, Elokei ha'Tzevakos. It is as if it says Elokei Olam ha'Tzevakos Ma'alah. The legions above go and rule in the world based on His command; He is their G-d. This is unlike those who say that they (the legions) are gods. Rather, Tzeva'os is based on Tzeva'os Yisrael. The word is Chulin; it may be erased.

2.

Radak (based on Shevu'os 35b #2): Tzevakos may not be erased. (It seems that it is a To'ar (adjective) describing Hashem. - PF)

2.

Radak citing Bereishis Rabah 53: You told Avraham "Habet Na ha'Shamaimah u'Sfor ha'Kochavim" (Bereishis 15:5) - [You should] look from Shamayim!
