<p> Ava, in Assyria; colonists thence re. peopled [[Samaria]] after the removal of the Israelites ( 2 Kings 17:24). Probably the same as Ivah ( 2 Kings 18:34). The [[Assyrians]] according to their usual policy, having conquered Ivah, transplanted its inhabitants to Samaria, vacated by Israel's deportation. (See IVAH.) </p> | |||

<p> Ava ( 2 Kings 17:24), also Ivah ( 2 Kings 18:34; 2 Kings 19:13; Isaiah 37:13), the capital of a small monarchical state conquered by the Assyrians, and from which king [[Shalmaneser]] sent colonies into Samaria. It is most probable that Ava was a [[Syrian]] or Mesopotamian town, of which no trace can now be found either in ancient writers or in the Oriental topographers. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrews Avva', עִוָּא, ruin; Sept. Αουά, 2 Kings 17:24), also IVAH (Hebrews Ivvah', עִוָּה, same signif.; Sept. Ἀουά, 2 Kings 18:34; 2 Kings 19:13; but in Isaiah 37:13, unites with the preceding word, Ἀναεγγουγαυά v. r. Ἀναγουγάυα ) , the capital of a small monarchical state conquered by the Assyrians, and from which King [[Shalmaneser]] sent colonies into Samaria. The early [[Jewish]] translators (Symmachus and the Targums) understand it as a mere appellative; but it is associated with other proper names as a city. Some take it for the river, or rather the town which gave name to the river [[Ahava]] of Ezra 8:21 (Bellermann, Handbuch, 3, 374); but this name is quite different in the Hebrews ( אְהִוָא ). Iken (Dissertt. Philol. Theolog. p. 152) would identify it with the Phoenician town Avatha, mentioned in the [[Notitia]] Vet. Dignitatum Imper. Romans (but the reading here is rather doubtful, see Reland, Palaest. p. 232 sq.); or with the town of Abeje, between [[Beirut]] and Sidon, which Paul [[Lucas]] mentions as the seat of a Druse prince. Michaelis supposes it to be the land of the [[Avites]] between [[Tripoli]] and Beirut, because they are described as worshippers of [[Nibhaz]] ( 2 Kings 17:31), an idol which he compares with the great stone dog that formerly stood in that quarter, on which account the [[Lycus]] obtained its name of Nahr el-Kelb, Dog [[River]] (comp. Mannert, VI, 1:380). This, however, rests upon a confusion of the Avim of 2 Kings 17:31, with those of Deuteronomy 2:23; Joshua 13:3. (See [[Avite]]). Avva or [[Ivvah]] was doubtless a city of Mesopotamia, in the region indicated by the associated names (Babylon, Cuth, Hamath, Sepharvaim), perhaps somewhere farther east, in the direction of the classical Aria. </p> | |||

<p> Capital of the Burmese empire from 1364 to 1740 and from 1822 to 1835; now in ruins from an earthquake in 1839. </p> | |||
