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.)
