SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:15
Y el nombre de la mujer madianita muerta, era Cozbi, hija de Zur, príncipe de pueblos, padre de familia en Madián.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur , etc.] One of the five kings of Midian, ( Numbers 31:8) and so the Samaritan Chronicle says f414 , it was the daughter of a king that came to a prince of the tribe of Simeon, and enticed him to eat of her food, and worship her idols. The Targum of Jonathan says she was called Selonae, the daughter of Balak, chief of the nation of Moab, whose habitation was in Midian: he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian ; that is, Zur, the father of Cozbi, was; there were five sons of Midian, whose names are given, ( Genesis 25:4) from whence Jarchi concludes, that there were five principal families in Midian, and that this man was the head or chief of one of them, which is not improbable; and that also makes for the honour of Phinehas, that he spared not any for their rank and quality, of whatsoever nation they were.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-15 - Phinehas, in the courage of zeal and faith, executed vengeance on Zimr and Cozbi. This act can never be an example for private revenge, or religious persecution, or for irregular public vengeance.
