Judges: The names Oreb (pronounced Ó-reb) and Zeeb (pronounced Zē΄-eb), leaders of Midian and later Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian you won’t remember but they figure in several psalms. Here they are the principal enemies of the Jews – killing them, stealing their livestock and their crops. Gideon will threaten, and in time, will carry out his threats, against Succoth and Peniel (two cities). Notice how the LORD delivers Midian into the hands of Gideon and his 300 choice men.
