Samaria
Today: northern West Bank (Sebastia, Samaria hills)
A city and region in central Israel, between Judea and Galilee.
Omri founded the city as capital of the northern kingdom (1 Kgs 16:24); the Assyrians conquered it (2 Kgs 17:6). Jesus passed through the region, and Philip preached there (John 4:4; Acts 8:5).
15Though he is fruitful among brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of YHWH rising from the wilderness; and his spring will dry up, and his fountain will be parched; it will plunder the treasure of every precious object.
