Evi was one of five Midianite kings, described elsewhere as princes vassal to the Amorite king Sihon, killed by Israel's forces in the war of vengeance against Midian (Numbers 31:8), and his territory is recalled among the lands allotted afterward (Joshua 13:21). The campaign was ordered in response to Midian's role in luring Israel into idolatry and immorality at Baal-peor (Numbers 25; 31:1-2). Nothing more is known of Evi individually.
