Overview
Zalmunna was one of the two kings of Midian who led raids against Israel during the time of the judges. Along with Zebah, he oppressed the Israelites until God raised up Gideon to deliver them. Gideon pursued and defeated these kings, executing them to complete God's judgment against Midian's tyranny.
Key Scriptures
"Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna" (Psalm 83:11, ESV). This passage recalls how God gave Israel victory over these kings as a demonstration of His power and faithfulness to His covenant people.
Application
Zalmunna's defeat reminds believers that God judges those who oppress His people and grants victory to those who trust in Him through faith, just as He did with Gideon against overwhelming odds.
