Eve (life). ― “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh thereof; and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made He a woman, and brought her unto the man” (Gen. 2:21, 22). “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living” (Gen. 3:20).
Evi (desire). ―One of the kings of Midian slain by the Israelites (Num. 31:8; Josh. 13:21).
Evil-merodach, (etymology unknown, but Merodach was the name of a Babylonian deity). ―The son and successor of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. On his accession he released the captive king of Judah. Jehoiachin treated him with marked respect, and set his throne above the thrones of the other subjugated monarchs. “And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison; and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon; and changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life. And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life” (2 Kings 25:27-30; Jer. 52:31-34).
