Usage: The term שְׁמְרַיִן (Shomrain) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the region or city of Samaria, which was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the divided monarchy period. Context: Shomrain, commonly known as Samaria, was a significant city and region in ancient Israel. It served as the capital of the Northern Kingdom after the division of the united monarchy following the reign of Solomon. The city was founded by King Omri around 880 BC and became a central hub for political and religious activities. Samaria is frequently mentioned in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the prophetic literature, where it is often criticized for its idolatry and social injustices. The city fell to the Assyrians in 722 BC, leading to the exile of many of its inhabitants.

The Berean Standard Bible references Samaria in various passages, highlighting its historical and theological significance.
