Psalm 83-86

Psalm 83
83.11  Oreb...  a prince of Midian, who, being defeated by Gideon and put to straits, was slain along with Zeeb (Judg. 7:20-25)  --Web Bible Encyclopedia 
83.11  Zeeb...   one of the two leaders of the great Midianite host which invaded Israel and was utterly routed by Gideon.  The division of that host, which attempted to escape across the Jordan, under Oreb and Zeeb, was overtaken by the Ephraimites, who, in a great battle, completely vanquished them, their leaders being taken and slain (Judg. 7:25; Ps. 83:11; Isa. 10:26).  --Web Bible Encyclopedia
83.11  Zebah... Zalmunna...  one of the two kings who led the vast host of the Midianites who invaded the land of Israel, and over whom Gideon gained a great and decisive victory (Judg. 8). Zebah and Zalmunna had succeeded in escaping across the Jordan with a remnant of the Midianite host, but were overtaken at Karkor, probably in the Hauran, and routed by Gideon. The kings were taken alive and brought back across the Jordan; and confessing that they had personally taken part in the slaughter of Gideon's brothers, they were put to death (compare 1 Sam. 12:11; Isa. 10:26; Ps. 83:11).  ---Web Bible Encyclopedia
86.15  But You...  But am I?
