Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַר (shamar), meaning "to watch" or "to guard."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for Samaria is Strong's G4540, Σαμάρεια (Samareia), which is used in the New Testament to refer to the region of Samaria, as seen in passages like Luke 17:11 and Acts 1:8. This Greek term reflects the continued significance of Samaria in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of Jesus' ministry and the early Christian mission. Usage: The term "Shomeron" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote both the city of Samaria and the larger region it governed. It is frequently mentioned in the context of the Northern Kingdom's history, its kings, and its eventual downfall. Context: Shomeron, or Samaria, was established as the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel by King Omri around 880 BC. The city was strategically located on a hill, providing a strong defensive position. It became a significant political and religious center, often associated with the worship of Baal and other Canaanite deities, which led to prophetic rebukes from figures such as Elijah and Amos. Samaria's history is marked by its conflicts with the Southern Kingdom of Judah and its eventual conquest by the Assyrians in 722 BC, leading to the exile of its inhabitants. The city and region of Samaria are frequently mentioned in the prophetic literature as symbols of idolatry and apostasy, yet also as places of future restoration and hope. For example, in 1 Kings 16:24, Omri is recorded as purchasing the hill of Samaria and building the city, which became the capital of the Northern Kingdom. The prophets often spoke against Samaria for its idolatry and injustice, as seen in passages like Amos 3:9 and Micah 1:6. Despite its negative connotations, Samaria is also noted in the New Testament for its role in the spread of the Gospel, as seen in John 4:4-42, where Jesus speaks with the Samaritan woman at the well.
