Joshua 13:21–22 calls Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba the chiefs of Midian and the princes of Sihon, says that Moses struck Sihon with them, and says that the children of Israel also killed Balaam among the rest of their slain. Numbers 31:7–8 calls Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba the five kings of Midian, and says that those who fought against Midian killed them and Balaam the son of Beor. The Korean Revised Version spells two of the names 수르 and 후르 at Numbers 31:8 and 술 and 훌 at Joshua 13:21. This collection keeps both accounts as their texts stand, gives the passages of both books to the entries of the five men and of Balaam, and does not decide how the two accounts fit.

They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
