Zeeb
SEE WOLF.
Zeeb
(Heb. Zeeb, , wolf, as often; Sept. , Vulg. Zeb), one of the two princes () of Midian in the great invasion of Israel-inferior to the kings Zebah and Zalmunna. He is always named with Oreb (Jdg 7:25; Jdg 8:3; Psa 83:11). The name signifies in Hebrew wolf, just as Oreb does crow, and the two are appropriate enough to the customs of predatory warriors, who delight in conferring such names on their chiefs. Zeeb and Oreb were not slain at the first rout of the Arabs below the spring of Harod, but at a later stage of the struggle, probably in crossing the Jordan at a ford farther down the river, near the passes, which descend from Mount Ephraim. An enormous mass of their followers perished with them. SEE OREB.
Zeeb
the wolf, was brought to bay in a winepress which in later times bore his name the winepress of Zeeb ( ; Sept. v.r. , Vulg. Torcular Zeb). Down the Jordan valley, overlooking the plain of Jericho, is a sharp peak, still known as Ash el-Ghorab, i.e. the Raven’s, or Oreb’s, Peak. Five miles north-west of this is a wady and mound known as Triveel el-Diab, i.e. the Wolf’s, or Zeeb’s, Den, which Tristram accepts as the required localities (Bible Places, p. 230). Rabbi Schwarz’s suggestion (Palest. p. 231) is inapposite.

Zeeb
the wolf, one of the two leaders of the great Midianite host which invaded Israel and was utterly routed by Gideon. The division of that host, which attempted to escape across the Jordan, under Oreb and Zeeb, was overtaken by the Ephraimites, who, in a great battle, completely vanquished them, their leaders being taken and slain (Judg. 7:25; Ps. 83:11; Isa. 10:26).
