Evi was one of the five kings of Midian who were defeated and killed by the Israelites during the time of Moses (Num.31.8). These kings were allies of the Moabites and had played a role in leading the Israelites into idolatry and sexual immorality (Num.25.1-9). As a result, God commanded Moses to take vengeance on the Midianites (Num.31.1-2). Evi and the other Midianite kings were slain in battle, along with Balaam the son of Beor (Num.31.8). The Midianite kings, including Evi, are also mentioned as having been defeated by the Israelites in Jos.13.21, where they are described as "princes of Sihon" and "rulers in the land."
