Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4541 Σαμαρείτης (Samarites) - Samaritan

- G4540 Σαμάρεια (Samareia) - Samaria

Usage: The term "Shomeroni" refers to an inhabitant of Samaria, known as a Samaritan. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe the people living in the region of Samaria, particularly during the time of the divided kingdom when Samaria was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Samaritans were a distinct group that emerged after the Assyrian conquest of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BC. The Assyrians resettled various peoples in the region, leading to a mixed population that adopted a form of Yahwistic worship. Over time, religious and cultural differences developed between the Samaritans and the Jews of Judah, leading to significant animosity. The Samaritans accepted only the Pentateuch as their scripture and worshiped on Mount Gerizim rather than in Jerusalem.
