Shomron: Samaria

Original Word: שֹׁמְרוֹן
Part of Speech: Proper Name Location
Transliteration: Shomron
Pronunciation: shohm-RONE
Phonetic Spelling: (sho-mer-one')
Definition: Samaria
Meaning: Shomeron

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַר (shamar), meaning "to watch" or "to guard."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4540 Σαμάρεια (Samareia): The Greek equivalent used in the New Testament, referring to the region of Samaria.

Usage: Shomron refers to the city and region of Samaria, which served as the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy. It is often used to denote the entire Northern Kingdom in a broader sense.

Cultural and Historical Background: Samaria was established as the capital of the Northern Kingdom by King Omri around 880 BC. It was strategically located on a hill, making it a strong defensive position. The city became a center of idolatry and political intrigue, often criticized by the prophets for its apostasy and social injustices. Samaria fell to the Assyrians in 722 BC, leading to the exile of many Israelites and the introduction of foreign populations, which contributed to the mixed heritage of the Samaritans in later periods.
