Avva was the Assyrian or Mesopotamian place from which people were brought to settle Samaria. It is important because it belongs to the mixed-origin background of the later Samaritan population. First appears in 2 Kgs 17:24.1
AI summary: Avva matters because imperial resettlement changed the religious and ethnic landscape of the land. The place belongs to the story of displacement, transplanted peoples, and altered identity in Samaria.1
A place in Assyria from which colonies were brought to Samaria (2 Kings 17:24). It is probably the same with Ivah (18:34; 19:13; Isa. 37:13). It has been identified with Hit on the Euphrates. 3
