A quick check of BAG.... Aesop, Fab. 452 P. tosou`ton bdelugma,
tosou`ton miasma; oft. LXX; Test. Reub. 3:12; Suidas. bdelugmia as
early as Cratinus: Phryn., Praep. Soph. p. 54, 4 Borries [11]; X.,
Mem. 3, 11, 13) abomination, detestable thing.
It's used 58x in the LXX, and in the NT the places you cite plus Rev
21:27. BAG entry 2 associates the word with idolatry, things that
are "destable to the Lord."
In Barnabas 2:5 (Is 1:13). b. ejnwpion tou qeou detestable in the
sight of God (cf. Pr 11:1) cf. Lk 16:15.
I suspect you aremore interested in 1 Macc 1:54 which uses the full
phrase "abomination of desolation," see also Sir 49:2.
