Ezra 4:2, 10; but see Kautzsch in Herzog edition 2, as referred to under the preceding word), king of Assyria, had sent colonists from Babylon, Cuthah, Ava, Hamath, and Sepharvaim into the land of Samaria which he had devastated and depopulated (see Σαμάρεια, 1), those Israelites who had remained in their desolated country (cf. 2 Chronicles 30:6, 10; 2 Chronicles 34:9) associated and intermarried with these heathen colonists and thus produced a mixed race. When the Jews on their return from exile were preparing to rebuild the temple of Jerusalem, the Samaritans asked to be allowed to bear their part in the common work. On being refused by the Jews, who were unwilling to recognize them as brethren, they not only sent letters to the king of Persia and caused the Jews to be compelled to desist from their undertaking flown to the second year of Darius (Hystaspis) ( Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from Σαμάρεια (Samareia), meaning "Samaria," the region in central Palestine.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent related to the region and people of Samaria is שֹׁמְרוֹן (Shomron), Strong's Hebrew 8111, referring to the city and region of Samaria. Usage: The term Σαμαρείτης is used in the New Testament to refer to individuals from Samaria, often highlighting the cultural and religious distinctions between Samaritans and Jews during the time of Jesus. Context: The term Σαμαρείτης appears in the New Testament to describe the people of Samaria, a region located between Judea and Galilee. The Samaritans were a distinct ethnic and religious group, with their own version of the Pentateuch and worship centered on Mount Gerizim rather than Jerusalem. Historical tensions between Jews and Samaritans are well-documented, stemming from differences in religious beliefs and practices, as well as historical conflicts.
