Midianite Leader • Wilderness
Zur was a leader among the Midianites and the father of Cozbi. He is listed as one of the five kings of Midian who opposed Israel during the wilderness period. After the incident at Peor, where Israel fell into sin with Midianite women, God commanded Moses to take vengeance on Midian. Zur was killed during Israel’s campaign against Midian as part of this judgment.
