Ivvah

Ivvah (or Ivah) was a city in lower Mesopotamia, conquered by the Assyrians before Sennacherib's 701 BCE campaign against Judah. The Rabshakeh paired it with Hena in his attempt to terrify Jerusalem's defenders: "Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?" (2 Kings 18:34, 19:13, Isaiah 37:13). Ivvah is also probably the same as Avva, the home district of one of the foreign peoples Assyria resettled in Samaria after deporting the northern Israelites — "the men of Avva made Nibhaz and Tartak" as their gods (2 Kings 17:24-31).
