STEPBible TIPNR
Zur Zur was one of the five kings of Midian who fought against Israel during the conquest of Canaan. He is described as one of the "kings of Midian" and "princes of Sihon" (Jos 13:21). During the war against the Midianites, the Israelites killed Zur along with the other Midianite kings (Num 31:8). After the conquest of the region, the Israelites allocated the former territory of these Midianite kings, including Zur, to the tribes of Reuben and Gad (Jos 13:21).
