One of the two Midianite kings hunted across the Jordan and killed by Gideon at Karkor after the slaughter of Gideons brothers at Tabor
Zebah and his fellow king Zalmunna appear in Judges 8 as the two surviving Midianite monarchs after Gideon's rout at the Spring of Harod. Gideon pursued them across the Jordan, surprised them at Karkor with their remaining fifteen thousand men, and brought them back to Ophrah for execution. When Gideon asked what kind of men they had killed at Tabor, they answered "as thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king" — admitting they had slaughtered Gideon's own brothers. Gideon executed both kings personally and took the crescent ornaments from their camels' necks (Judges 8:18-21).
