Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Tsalmunna in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific name found in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the narrative context and themes may be related to Greek entries concerning leadership, judgment, and deliverance.

Usage: Tsalmunna is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a Midianite king defeated by Gideon.

Context: Tsalmunna was one of the two kings of Midian, along with Zebah, who were defeated by Gideon during the period of the Judges. The narrative of Tsalmunna is primarily found in the Book of Judges, chapters 7 and 8. The Midianites, under the leadership of Zebah and Tsalmunna, had oppressed the Israelites, leading to their impoverishment. In response, God raised Gideon to deliver Israel from their enemies.

In Judges 8:5-21, the account details Gideon's pursuit of Zebah and Tsalmunna after the initial victory over the Midianite forces. Gideon and his 300 men, though exhausted, continued their pursuit and eventually captured the two kings. When Gideon confronted them, he inquired about the men they had killed at Tabor, revealing a personal vendetta, as those men were his brothers. Tsalmunna, along with Zebah, was executed by Gideon as retribution for their actions against his family and the people of Israel.

The story of Tsalmunna highlights themes of divine justice and retribution, as well as the deliverance of Israel through divinely appointed leaders. It also underscores the cyclical nature of Israel's faithfulness and apostasy during the time of the Judges.
