⁷ So they made war against Midian, just as the Lord had commanded Moses, and ^(A)they killed every male. ⁸ They killed the kings of Midian along with the rest of those killed: ^(B)Evi, Rekem, ^(C)Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed ^(D)Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.

²⁴ Then Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down ^[a]against Midian and ^(A)take control of the waters ahead of them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they took control of the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan. ²⁵ And they captured the two leaders of Midian, ^(B)Oreb and Zeeb, and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb, while they pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon ^(C)from across the Jordan.

¹² When Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and routed the entire ^[a]army.
