Berean Strong's Lexicon Samarités: Samaritan Original Word: Σαμαρείτης Word Origin: Derived from Σαμάρεια (Samareia), meaning "Samaria" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with Samaritans is שֹׁמְרוֹנִי (Shomroni), derived from שֹׁמְרוֹן (Shomron), the Hebrew name for Samaria. Usage: The term "Samarités" refers to an inhabitant of Samaria, a region located between Judea and Galilee. In the New Testament, Samaritans are often depicted as a distinct ethnic and religious group, separate from the Jews, with whom they had a long-standing enmity. The term is used to describe individuals from this group, often highlighting the cultural and religious tensions between Samaritans and Jews. Cultural and Historical Background: The Samaritans trace their origins to the Northern Kingdom of Israel, which fell to the Assyrians in 722 BC. Over time, they intermarried with foreign settlers, leading to a distinct religious identity that included worship on Mount Gerizim and acceptance of only the Pentateuch as Scripture. By the time of Jesus, Jews and Samaritans had deep-seated animosities, partly due to differences in worship practices and historical conflicts. Despite this, Jesus' interactions with Samaritans, such as the parable of the Good Samaritan and His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, illustrate a breaking down of these barriers.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 4541: ΣαμαρείτηςΣαμαρείτης (Σαμαρείτης Tdf.; (see Tdf. Proleg., p. 87; WH's Appendix, p. 154; cf. Iota) (Σαμάρεια), Σαμαρειτου, ὁ, a Samaritan (Samarites, Curt. 4, 8, 9; Tacitus, ann. 12, 54; Samaritanus, Vulg. ((2 Kings 17:29 'Samaritae')) and ecclesiastical writings), i. e. an inhabitant either of the city or of the province of Samaria. The origin of the Samaritans was as follows: After Shalmaneser (others say Esarhaddon, cf. Ezra 4:2, 10; but see Kautzsch in Herzog edition 2, as referred to under the preceding word), king of Assyria, had sent colonists from Babylon, Cuthah, Ava, Hamath, and Sepharvaim into the land of Samaria which he had devastated and depopulated (see Σαμάρεια, 1), those Israelites who had remained in their desolated country (cf. 2 Chronicles 30:6, 10; 2 Chronicles 34:9) associated and intermarried with these heathen colonists and thus produced a mixed race. When the Jews on their return from exile were preparing to rebuild the temple of Jerusalem, the Samaritans asked to be allowed to bear their part in the common work. On being refused by the Jews, who were unwilling to recognize them as brethren, they not only sent letters to the king of Persia and caused the Jews to be compelled to desist from their undertaking flown to the second year of Darius (Hystaspis) ( Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Samaritan.
