Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Dahava, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a people group mentioned in the Old Testament.

Usage: The term "Dahava" appears in the context of the peoples who were relocated by the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. It is specifically mentioned in the book of Ezra.

Context: • Dahava is a term used to identify a group of people listed among those who were settled in Samaria by the Assyrian king after the deportation of the Israelites. This group is mentioned in the book of Ezra, which details the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon and the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. The mention of Dahava occurs in a list of peoples who opposed the rebuilding efforts, indicating their presence in the region during the post-exilic period. The exact identity and origin of the Dahava people remain uncertain, but they are considered to be one of the many ethnic groups that were part of the diverse population in the Persian Empire. Their inclusion in the biblical narrative highlights the complex socio-political landscape of the time and the challenges faced by the returning Jewish community.
