STEPBible TIPNR
Reba was one of the five kings of Midian who were defeated and killed by the Israelites during the time of Moses (Num 31:8; Jos 13:21). The Midianites were a nomadic people who lived in the desert regions south and east of Canaan. They had engaged in hostilities against Israel and had led the Israelites into idolatry and immorality (Numbers 25). As a result, God commanded Moses to carry out a war of vengeance against the Midianites. The Israelite army, led by Phinehas, defeated the Midianites and killed their five kings, including Reba. The victory over the Midianites was seen as a judgment against their wickedness and a protection of Israel's spiritual and moral purity. The death of Reba and the other Midianite kings marked the end of a significant threat to Israel's existence and integrity.
