STEPBible TIPNR
Zeeb was a prince of Midian during the time of the judges in Israel. When Gideon and his 300 men defeated the Midianite army, the Ephraimites captured Zeeb and another prince named Oreb at the winepress of Zeeb. They killed both princes and brought their heads to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan. The victory over Oreb and Zeeb was celebrated as a significant part of Gideon's triumph over the Midianites, who had been oppressing Israel. The Psalmist later refers to their defeat, asking God to make the enemies of Israel like Oreb and Zeeb.
Zeeb Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
The wolf, one of the two leaders of the great Midianite host which invaded Israel and was utterly routed by Gideon. The division of that host, which attempted to escape across the Jordan, under Oreb and Zeeb, was overtaken by the Ephraimites, who, in a great battle, completely vanquished them, their leaders being taken and slain (Judg. 7:25; Ps. 83:11; Isa. 10:26).
