The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 83:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb. "Oreb" and "Zeeb," the leaders of the Midianitish host, were taken prisoners and slain by the Ephraimites who pursued after Midian ( 7:25). Yea, all their princes as Zeba, and as Zalmunna.

Zeba and Zalmunna were the kings of Midian slain by Gideon himself ( 8:21).
