About Zur
A prince of Midian and the father of Cozbi, a Midianite woman who was killed by Phinehas. Cozbi was in an improper relationship with Zimri, an Israelite man, during the incident at Baal-peor (Numbers 25:15). Zur was later killed by the Israelites, along with four other Midianite kings and Balaam, as part of God's judgment on Midian (31:8). He seems to have been under the authority of Sihon, the Amorite king, since he is listed as one of Sihon's "princes" (Joshua 13:21).
