The Definition of the word Zebah

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 (Judg. 8). 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 Sam. 12:11; Isa." 10:26; Ps. 83:11).
