Context of Psalms 83:11

9Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon: 10Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground. Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna. 12For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession. 13O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.
