<p> (Hebrews Avva', עִוָּא, '' | <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> | ||
