Usage: Reba is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a Midianite king. The name is associated with one of the five kings of Midian who were defeated and killed by the Israelites under the leadership of Moses and Phinehas. Cultural and Historical Background: The Midianites were a nomadic people who lived in the region east of the Jordan River. They were descendants of Midian, a son of Abraham by his concubine Keturah.

The defeat of the Midianite kings, including Reba, is a significant event in the narrative of Israel's journey to the Promised Land, symbolizing God's deliverance and judgment against those who opposed His people.
