ze.vach is the proper name of a Midianite king named with Zalmunna in the Judges account and in Psalm 83:12.

The supplied verses use the term as a proper name, chiefly alongside Zalmunna for a king of Midian pursued, captured, questioned, and killed in the Judges narrative; Psalm 83:12 also names him in a hostile group claiming God's habitations.

Senses in use

  1. Proper name of the Midianite king · dominant

    All supplied tokens are tagged Noun · Proper. In Judges 8:5 the APB renders Gideon as pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, “the kings of Midian”; Judges 8:12 recounts their flight and capture, and Judges 8:21 reports that Gideon killed them. Psalm 83:12 places the name in a quoted hostile claim to take possession of “the habitations of God.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally retains the name “Zebah,” repeatedly pairing it with Zalmunna in the Judges account. In Psalm 83:12, the supplied APB text gives the hostile statement but does not display the name in English, so the term's individual contribution is not isolated there.
