Zebah: Man-killer, or sacrifice, one of the two kings who led the vast host
of the Midianites who invaded the land of Israel, and over whom
Gideon gained a great and decisive victory
(Judges 7:21-8:21) Zebah and
Zalmunna had succeeded in escaping across the Jordan with a remnant
of the Midianite host, but were overtaken at Karkor, probably in the
Hauran, and routed by Gideon. The kings were taken alive and brought
back across the Jordan; and confessing that they had personally taken
part in the slaughter of Gideon's brothers, they were put to death
(comp.)
(1 Samuel 12:11; Isaiah 10:26; Psalms 83:11)
