Evi was a Midianite chief living during the time of Egypt and the wilderness, mentioned in Numbers 31:8.
About Evi
Evi was one of five kings of Midian who were killed in a battle against Israel under the leadership of Moses (Numbers 31:8). God apparently told Moses to fight against Midian because the Midianites had led the Israelites to practice pagan religions. Joshua 13:21 calls Evi a prince of Sihon, the Midianite king.
