Oreb was a Midianite prince who was killed by the Ephraimites during the time of Gideon.
Oreb was a Midianite prince killed by the men of Ephraim during the rout that followed Gideon's surprise night attack on the Midianite camp (Judges 7:25; 8:3). He was captured and killed at the rock that was subsequently named 'the rock of Oreb' in his memory. Isaiah 10:26 and Psalm 83:11 cite the victory over Oreb and his fellow prince Zeeb as paradigmatic examples of God's miraculous deliverance of Israel, marking the event as a foundational military memory in Israelite tradition.
