Okay, I will jump in on this one and say "yes" God commands evil in that we know He controls it and ultimately it is part of His decreed will - Ephesians 1:11; Proverbs 16:33.

Yet, while God controls and even ordains evil events, it is clear in Scripture that He is not the only One involved in bringing those events about. Job chapters 1 and 2 show us Satan as an initiator of evil, though under God's limits. In this we see two causes of evil. One "evil" cause of evil in the person of Satan and God whose "evil" actually works (Romans 8:28) for Job's good, to the point Job himself says 'when he has tested me I shall come forth as gold.'

We see the same thing in the Book of Acts chapters 2 & 4 where Luke attributes the nailing of Christ to the cross, a wonderfully "good / evil" event - both to God and to Herod, Pilot, and the wicked Jews. Surely in the cross of Christ we see that God is praiseworthy even in seemingly evil events while man and Satan are to blame.
