From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Zebah
     man-killer, or sacrifice, one of the two kings who led the vast
     host of the Midianites who invaded the land of Israel, and over
     whom Gideon gained a great and decisive victory (Judg. 8). Zebah
     and Zalmunna had succeeded in escaping across the Jordan with a
     remnant of the Midianite host, but were overtaken at Karkor,


     probably in the Hauran, and routed by Gideon. The kings were
     taken alive and brought back across the Jordan; and confessing
     that they had personally taken part in the slaughter of Gideon's
     brothers, they were put to death (comp. 1 Sam. 12:11; Isa.
     10:26; Ps. 83:11).
