Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָבַח (zabach), meaning "to sacrifice" or "to slaughter."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Zebach, as it is a specific personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of sacrifice, related to the root of the name, can be linked to Greek terms such as θυσία (thysia, Strong's Greek 2378), meaning "sacrifice." Usage: The name Zebach appears in the context of the Midianite kings defeated by Gideon. It is used specifically to refer to one of the two Midianite kings, Zebah and Zalmunna, who were captured and killed by Gideon as recorded in the Book of Judges. Context: Zebach is mentioned in the Book of Judges, chapters 8:5-21. He was one of the two kings of Midian, along with Zalmunna, who led their people in a conflict against Israel. After Gideon's victory over the Midianites, Zebach and Zalmunna fled but were pursued and captured by Gideon. In Judges 8:5, Gideon requests provisions for his men from the people of Succoth, promising to return and punish them after capturing Zebach and Zalmunna. Eventually, Gideon captures the two kings and executes them, fulfilling his promise to avenge the deaths of his brothers whom Zebach and Zalmunna had killed. The narrative highlights the theme of divine justice and the deliverance of Israel from its oppressors through Gideon's leadership.
