Usage: The name Reba appears in the context of a Midianite king who was defeated by the Israelites during the time of Moses. Context: Reba is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the five kings of Midian who were defeated and killed by the Israelites under the leadership of Moses. This event is recorded in the Book of Numbers. The Midianites were a nomadic people who often came into conflict with the Israelites. Reba, along with the other Midianite kings—Evi, Rekem, Zur, and Hur—was slain in the battle at the command of Moses, as part of God's judgment against Midian for their role in leading Israel into idolatry and immorality (Numbers 31:8). The defeat of Reba and the other kings signified a significant victory for the Israelites as they journeyed towards the Promised Land. The account of Reba's death underscores the theme of divine justice and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
