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).
