Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the proper noun Zeeb, as it is specific to the Hebrew text and context of the Old Testament.

Usage: Zeeb is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a Midianite prince.

Context: Zeeb is a Midianite prince mentioned in the Book of Judges. Along with another prince, Oreb, Zeeb led the Midianite forces against Israel during the time of Gideon. The narrative in Judges 7-8 describes how Gideon, with a small band of 300 men, defeated the Midianites through a divinely inspired strategy. After the initial victory, the Israelites pursued the fleeing Midianites. Zeeb and Oreb were captured and executed by the Ephraimites at the winepress of Zeeb, a location named after him following his death. This event is recorded in Judges 7:25: "They captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. They pursued the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was by the Jordan." The defeat of Zeeb and Oreb marked a significant victory for Israel and demonstrated God's deliverance through Gideon.
