    Description

    Ivvah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Ivvah, also known as Avva, was a city that was conquered by the Assyrians. It is mentioned in 2Ki.18.34 and 19:13, as well as in Isaiah 37:13, as one of the cities whose gods could not save them from the Assyrian invasion. The people of Ivvah, along with those from other conquered cities, were later resettled in Samaria by the Assyrian king (2Ki.17.24). These people, known as the Avvites, continued to worship their own gods in their new land (2Ki.17.31). The exact location of Ivvah is unknown, but it was likely situated somewhere in Syria or Mesopotamia.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
