Contextual Overview

9 God, do to them what you did to Midian, what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River. 10 They died at Endor, and their bodies rotted on the ground. 11 Do to their important leaders what you did to Oreb and Zeeb. Do to their princes what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna. 12 They said, "Let's take for ourselves the pasturelands that belong to God." 13 My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff blown away by the wind. 14 Be like a fire that burns a forest or like flames that blaze through the hills. 15 Chase them with your storm, and frighten them with your wind. 16 Cover them with shame. Then people will look for you, Lord . 17 Make them afraid and ashamed forever. Disgrace them and destroy them. 18 Then they will know that you are the Lord , that only you are God Most High over all the earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb,.... Two princes of Midian, who were slain, the one at the rock Oreb, and the other at the winepress of Zeeb, so called after their names, Judges 7:25,

yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna; kings of Midian, slain by Gideon, Judges 8:21.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb - These were princes or rulers of the Midianites, slain by Gideon, the one on the rock Oreb, and the other at the wine-press of Zeeb. Judges 7:25. The prayer here is, that the enemies who had conspired against the land of Israel might be utterly destroyed.

Yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna - The word here rendered princes means properly anointed, and was given to princes, kings, prophets, and priests, as anointed, or as set apart by anointing to their office. Zebah and Zalmunna were kings of Midian, slain also by Gideon. See Judges 8:5, Judges 8:21.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 83:11. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb — They were two of the chiefs, or generals, of the Midianites; and were slain in the pursuit of the Midianites, by the men of Ephraim; and their heads brought to Gideon on the other side of Jordan. Judges 7:24-25.

Yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna — These were kings of Midian, who were encamped at Karkor with fifteen thousand men, whom Gideon attacked there, and defeated, and took the kings prisoners; and finding that they had killed his own brothers slew them both. See Judges 8:10-21. Of the Midianites there fell at this time one hundred and twenty thousand men.
