>And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
>Death killed people with death

fun fact: this is not "hell" as in, the place. this is "hell" as in, a single being.
more specifically, its talking about the greek god hades, who at the end of revelations, gets also thrown into "the lake of fire"
