Strong's Lexicon Shomrayin: Samaria Original Word: שְׁמְרַיִן Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַר (shamar), meaning "to watch" or "to guard." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Σαμάρεια (Samareia) - Strong's Greek 4540: Refers to the region of Samaria in the New Testament. Usage: Shomrayin refers to the region and city of Samaria, which was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy. It is often used to denote the political and religious center of the Northern Kingdom, as well as the surrounding region. Cultural and Historical Background: Samaria was established as the capital of the Northern Kingdom by King Omri around 880 BC. It became a significant center of political power and religious activity, often associated with idolatry and syncretism due to the influence of neighboring cultures. The city was strategically located on a hill, making it a formidable fortress. 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.
