Theological / Devotional

Oreb. Oreb and Zeeb were princes of Midian slain by the Ephraimites under Gideon (see Judges 7:25).

Zebah. Zebah and Zalmunna were kings of Midian, slain by Gideon (see Judges 8:5, 21). The slaughter of Midian must have been surpassingly awful, for Isaiah mentions it along with the destruction of the Egyptians at the Red Sea as typical of the destruction to be visited on the hosts of Sennacherib (Isa. 10:26).
