Context of Psalms 83:11
9Do to them what you did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River. 10They were destroyed at Endor. They became manure to fertilize the ground. Treat their influential people as you treated Oreb and Zeeb. Treat all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna. 12They said, “Let’s take God’s pasturelands for ourselves.” 13O my God, blow them away like tumbleweeds, like husks in the wind.
