Overturning, a city of the Assyrians, whence colonists were brought to Samaria (2 Kings 18:34; 19:13). It lay on the Euphrates, between Sepharvaim and Henah, and is supposed by some to have been the Ahava of Ezra (8:15).
Ivah
Ivah was a city, and it is named only in the speeches of the Assyrian leaders who threatened Jerusalem. They asked where the gods of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivah were, and whether those gods had delivered their cities out of Assyria’s hand. The message was meant to shake Hezekiah’s trust in the Lord. The same words are repeated in 2 Kings 18, 2 Kings 19 and Isaiah 37, so the reader hears the boast three times. Ivah itself is just one name in a list of conquered places, offered as proof that no god could stand against Assyria. Hezekiah’s prayer in 2 Kings 19 is the answer.
