Context of Psalms 83:11
9Do to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River. 10They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil. Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!” 13O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!
