Psalm 83:11-12

    Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did.

        Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,

    for they said, "Let us seize for our own use 

        these pasturelands of God!"

      

Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did.

Judges 7:25  They captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two Midianite commanders, killing Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb. And they continued to chase the Midianites. Afterward the Israelites brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon, who was by the Jordan River.

Judges 8:1-3  Then the people of Ephraim asked Gideon, "Why have you treated us this way? Why didn't you send for us when you first went out to fight the Midianites?" And they argued heatedly with Gideon.

    But Gideon replied, "What have I accomplished compared to you? Aren't even the left over grapes of Ephraim's harvest better than the entire crop of my little clan of Abiezer? God gave you victory over Oreb and Zeeb, the commanders of the Midianite army. What have I accomplished compared to that?" When the men of Ephraim heard Gideon's answer, their anger subsided. (see 7:19-25)

 

Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna, 

Judges 8:5  When they reached Succoth, Gideon asked the leaders of the town, "Please give my warriors some food. They are very tired. I am chasing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian." (see verses 4-10)

Judges 8:12  Zebah and Zalmunna, the two Midianite kings, fled, but Gideon chased them down and captured all their warriors. (see verses 11-17)

Judges 8:21  Then Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon, "Be a man! Kill us yourself!" So Gideon killed them both and took the royal ornaments from the necks of their camels. (see verses 18-21)

 

for they said, "Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!" 

2 Chronicles 20:10-12  "And now see what the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir are doing. You would not let our ancestors invade those nations when Israel left Egypt, so they went around them and did not destroy them. Now see how they reward us! For they have come to throw us out of your land, which you gave us as an inheritance. Our God, won't you stop them? We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help." (see verses 1-30)

Ezekiel 35:9-11  "I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you said, 'The lands of Israel and Judah will be ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care that the LORD is there!' Therefore, as surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, I will pay back your angry deeds with my own. I will punish you for all your acts of anger, envy, and hatred. And I will make myself known to Israel by what I do to you." (see all chapter 35)
