ze.ev is a proper name used for a Midianite ruler named alongside Oreb.

The attested form is a proper name for a Midianite ruler associated with Oreb: Judges 7:25 recounts his capture and death, and Judges 8:3 names him among the princes given into Israel’s hands. Psalm 83:12 also contains the proper-noun form, though the supplied translation does not isolate its contribution.

   The supplied morphology identifies the form as a proper noun. In Judges 7:25 the APB renders the account of the capture of “the two rulers of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb,” followed by Zeeb's death at “the winepress of Zeeb”; in Judges 8:3 it again names Oreb and Zeeb as princes of Midian given into their hands.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Judges 7:25 and Judges 8:3, the APB explicitly presents the name as “Zeeb” alongside Oreb and identifies the pair as Midianite rulers or princes. Although Psalm 83:12 contains the proper-noun form, its supplied APB wording does not display the name.
