Usage: Ivvah, also known as Avva, is a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is identified as a city or region that was conquered by the Assyrians. The name is used to denote a place that was involved in the Assyrian campaigns and is associated with the displacement of its inhabitants.

Cultural and Historical Background: Ivvah is mentioned in the context of the Assyrian Empire's expansion under kings such as Shalmaneser V and Sennacherib. The Assyrians were known for their military prowess and their policy of relocating conquered peoples to prevent rebellion.
