Old Testament
Zeeb
A Midianite prince captured and executed by the Ephraimites during Gideon's campaign.
Zeeb was a Midianite prince who, along with Oreb, led the forces oppressing Israel. After Gideon defeated the Midianite army, the Ephraimites captured and killed Zeeb at a winepress that subsequently bore his name. His death serves as a significant turning point in the collapse of the Midianite resistance against Israel.
